Proposal Preparation

One of RAS' primary functions is to provide assistance to SPHHP faculty in the preparation and submission of grant and contract proposals.

At your request, we will do any or all of the following:

  • Propose a timeline to serve as a basis for the completion of all proposal-related tasks
  • Develop project budgets and budget justifications
  • Coordinate the collection of proposal-related materials including those from any collaborative institutions
  • Prepare required internal and external administrative forms
  • Proofread for grammar and readability
  • Format documents (e.g., turn CVs into NIH Biosketches)
  • Prepare electronically-submitted documents (e.g., for Grants.gov, we format and upload all documents into the Pureedge File)
  • Liaise with Sponsored Projects Services on all proposal-related matters
  • Initiate and monitor the ESPAS (electronic sponsored projects approval system) process

Ideally, we should have 20 business days notice of your intent to submit a proposal—the more lead time we have, the more assistance we can provide.
