PREPARE (PRE-Proposal Application REview) is a program to provide pre-submission grant review services with the goal of improving the funding rate for DOM PIs. PREPARE will provide DOM faculty investigators with concept sheet and full proposal review services by matching them with qualified reviewers from within the Department who have had prior funding success. Reviewers will be compensated for each review.
 

Reviewees can choose to have a concept sheet reviewed a few months in advance of the proposal deadline or can have a full proposal review. Faculty who would like to volunteer to serve as reviewers can sign up to be a part of the reviewer pool immediately. Faculty who would like to request a proposal review can do so starting September 1, 2019, for submission deadlines after November 1, 2019. More details and sign up forms for Reviewers and Reviewees can be found on our website.

The Team Science Planning Grant will leverage the DOM’s breadth and depth of research across divisions and campuses by offering grants of up to $100,000 for a period of 12 months to spur the development of new multi-disciplinary grant submissions. The ultimate goal of this DOM planning grant is to seed collaboration between our Department faculty members across disciplines and campuses that will lead to a 2020 submission for extramural multi-disciplinary research funding.
 

The deadline for this grant is November 1, 2019 with funding beginning January 1, 2020. To review eligibility criteria and program details and to apply, please visit the website.
