Proposal Resources

Proposal development doesn't have to be such a daunting task.  School research officers are available to assist you at every juncture.  The process is made much simpler if you follow School-developed policies and procedures for developing and submitting proposals in response to Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Requests for Applications (RFAs), or other open competitions.

If the information provided below does not answer your question(s) you can always contact the Office of International Development & Research Support -- we're more than happy to assist.
