Proposal Preparation Resources and Templates
OAR will provide PIs with a checklist of required materials and a timeline of deliverables to ensure a smooth grant application process. We will work with PIs on developing their budget, and connect you with a number of resources, including budget and other templates, sample proposals, etc. that are available to PIs.
Schedule meetings with sponsored programs staff to discuss solicitation and requirements, develop budget, draft supplementary proposal documents, etc.
