The Grants Team is responsible for submitting all proposals for grants and contracts for research and other scholarly activities to public agencies (federal, state or local government) and private non-profit research organizations (such as the American Heart Association). The Grants Team assists investigators in preparation and submission of all proposals as well as managing all non-financial post-award processes. Principal investigators or program directors may not apply for nor receive funding directly from sponsoring organizations without receiving review by the Grants Team for University approval.
