Proposal Preparation Support
One of the main goals of the RTI office is to take away the administrative burden associated with the proposal submission process. On this page you will find various resources to assist in grant preparation. Please feel free to visit us in person with whatever questions you have.
Please contact Marci Welton, SOLS Grant Proposal Coordinator, when preparing to submit a proposal or if you have any questions regarding research administration.
