Internal Review for Grant Applications

Internal review is available for upcoming grant submissions. If you are planning to submit a proposal for external funding and would like feedback, please fill out the online form (link below) and include a Word document of the draft proposal. Our research development staff will provide a detailed rhetorical analysis including alignment with the funding opportunity announcement within two weeks. If copyediting is desired, an additional week may be required for feedback.

*We recommend that you submit your proposal at least four, but preferably six, weeks before the sponsor deadline to allow time for review and for you to incorporate the feedback into your application. If you submit your application later than four weeks before the sponsor deadline or if you would like peer review regarding the specific technical content of the proposal, Research Development staff will contact you.
