Proposal
Development Services
Advance consultations
We
can:
- review and discuss your proposal
according to individual agency
emphases
and ways to make
it more competitive
- inform you of opportunities
for faculty to learn strategies
for successful proposal writing
- make you aware of funding agencies’ regional
and national meetings, workshops,
and conferences, as well as funding
such as UC Opportunity Grants, which
provide conference funds to promote
dialogue between University and industry
communities
- refer you
to your Sponsored Projects team in
the
Office
of Research
as appropriate
- provide information about institutional support available for a research project and assist with letters of institutional support
- provide technical and project management support for major research grant or contract proposal development and submission
Proposal draft review
As
a service especially suited to
junior faculty and multidisciplinary
teams, we are happy to review
drafts of pre-proposal and proposal
project summaries or project
descriptions as time permits.
We will then offer suggestions
for ways to refine or further
develop the material and discuss
our comments with you.
We'll also review "pink sheets" and reviewer reports to provide feedback and guidance about institutional and individual program proposal elements. If you
plan to send Research Development
a summary statement or project
description,
please
contact Carla Whitacre, Director
of Research Development, at x3925
or whitacre@research.ucsb.edu
Sample proposals
The Office of Research has a number of successful proposals that PIs have offered as samples for future applicants. Programs for which we have samples include NSF CAREER, NSF IGERT, UC Pacific Rim Research Program, Packard Fellowships, Sloan Fellowships, and Dreyfus Foundation Awards among others. Please contact Whitney Winn at funding@research.ucsb.edu for information on receiving access to these sample proposals.
Proposal development
resources
There are a number of print and electronic resources available to assist researchers at every stage of the proposal process. We have compiled a directory of online sources available here: Proposal-writing resources.
The Office of Research also has a small collection of print resources that we can let researchers borrow. Researchers may browse the list of available books and submit their request to funding@research.ucsb.edu. The UCSB Library also has many proposal development books and resources in its collection. See a selection of the materials the library has to offer.
Templates for institutional information Most proposals require a statement
about UCSB’s research climate
and how research is integrated
with education. We are developing
descriptions that may be useful
as proposal development progresses.
