Welcome!
"Pre-award" consists of two offices in the division of Research, Economic Development & Graduate Education ("R-EDGE") that provide services for the preparation, approval, and submission of proposals for sponsored projects and funding provided by off-campus funding entities.
Where the funding comes from determines which pre-award office does the work.
- The Grants Development Office (“GDO”) provides submission services for proposals funded by public (government) and foreign sources.
- The Corporate Engagement & Innovation Office ("CEI") provides submission services for proposals funded by for-profit (industry) entities, non-profit/foundations, and provides support for SBIR/STTR proposals.
