Proposal Development is the process of creating a comprehensive and compelling document that outlines the details of a research project and requests funding or support from an external sponsor. The primary goal of proposal development is to effectively communicate the significance, objectives, methodology, and potential outcomes of the proposed research, persuading the sponsor that the project is worthy of financial or other support.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Award & Financial Management of Sponsored Projects” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Granting Success<\/a><\/p>\n Grant Management Roadmap<\/a><\/p>\n Setting up a Sponsored Award Account<\/a><\/p>\n What is an Awarded Budget of Record (ABOR)<\/a><\/p>\n ABOR Faculty Guide – Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/p>\n Expenditure Tracking Log (shadow-budget)<\/a><\/p>\n Compensation: Time and Effort<\/p>\n Hiring Personnel<\/p>\n Purchasing & Recurring Costs<\/p>\n Understanding Fund Reviews<\/p>\n Prior Action Requests<\/span><\/p>\n Effort Reporting<\/p>\n Technical & Financial Progress Reporting<\/p>\n Best Practices for Grant Closeout<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Grant Closeout Responsibilities + Timeline<\/a><\/p>\n Strategic Closeout Roadmap<\/a><\/p>\n Timely Notice: Guide to Ending Grant Positions<\/a><\/p>\n Managing Recurring Charges<\/a><\/p>\n Final Technical & Financial Progress Reporting<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Compliance” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n The Office of Research Administration facilitates university research, teaching, and public service programs by administering programs that provide ethical and regulatory oversight of research involving human subjects, animals, and export control regulations.
