Proposal Development Services

The Proposal Development Services team, formerly called Interdisciplinary Research Support, offers extensive services and resources to UC Davis researchers to assist in the development and submission of extramural funding proposals, including individual research grants, individual fellowships, larger center-scale and team grants, equipment grants, and institutional training grants. The unit provides early career research support, project management for large team grants, and a toolbox with templates, training opportunities, and resources to facilitate successful proposals.

Examples of the services we provide to proposal teams include:

  • Checklist development and progress tracking
  • Scheduling multiple layers of review to ensure a high-quality final product.
  • Proposal budget preparation and subaward coordination
  • Biographical sketches, other support, facility descriptions, etc. collection
  • Figures and organizational chart generation
  • Providing templates and language for management plans, data managements, etc.
  • Copy and evaluation editing
  • Executing Cayuse and eRA Commons submissions.

In special circumstances, services are also available à la carte. Please contact Sheryl Soucy-Lubell for more information.
