Proposal Development

We provide consultation and various resources for proposal development to increase the competitiveness of UNM submissions. We can help you at the idea development stage and with interpreting a request for applications (RFA) to identify needed resources.  We provide templates and tools for writing your proposal and assistance with the development process. We also provide resources to support editing and coordination of internal/external proposal review. 

RDO support includes:

• Consultation on research strategic planning and conceptual elements
• RFA review and submission planning
• Guidance for engaging with sponsors
• Facilitation support for complex, interprofessional and multidisciplinary proposals
• Proposal editing – We prioritize research training (K) proposals and interprofessional and multidisciplinary program grants for editing support.
• Facilitation of internal/external review

Resource Repository

The RDO provides institution-specific information on facilities, resources, and the academic environment at UNM to support your research endeavors. We also maintain a library of support documents for non-technical proposal components and grant proposal samples, which you can set up an appointment to view in-person. Please submit a request here or email Kara McKinney to request information.
