In an effort to increase the competitiveness of U-M teams seeking large, external research grants, OVPR has created a Roadmap for Large-Scale Proposals, launched this week by the OVPR Research Development and Proposal Services team. The Roadmap outlines a variety of considerations while planning and competing for externally funded, large-scale proposals. Faculty seeking research grants in excess of $5 million are encouraged to contact the R+CP team and/or OVPR’s Research Development and Proposal Services team early on in the process for support, guidance, and resources.
