1. Who can help?

The Research Development Office (RDO) helps researchers secure funding with programs such as:  

• Grantsmanship workshops
• Pivot-RP, an online funding database with both internal and extern opportunities 

Staff in the Division of Sponsored Programs (DSP) are available for one-on-one consultations to answer questions about specific proposals.  

Colleges and departments also have dedicated research administrators who assist with proposal development, budget preparation, routing, and related activities.  

Find your departmental or collegiate pre-award research administrator.
