Welcome!

The Pre-Award office consists of two offices in the Division of Research that provide services for the preparation, approval, and submission of proposals for sponsored projects and other funding provided by off-campus entities. 

*****  The Pre-Award office for your proposal is determined by the source of your target funding. *****

 

  • The Grants Development Office (“GDO”) provides submission services for proposals funded by public (governmental) 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.
