Dear Colleagues,
I’m pleased to announce a new pilot program offered by the Research Office in partnership with the colleges. It is intended to support faculty in securing external sponsored research funding by providing up to 20 hours of proposal editing and 5 hours of graphic design support for proposal development. Researchers who have not received federal funding as a principal investigator in the past five years are eligible to participate. The program begins May 1.
Best,
Charles G. Riordan
Vice President for Research, Scholarship and Innovation
