Application Preparation, Sponsor Regulatory Requirements, and Proposal Submission
Notre Dame Research Administration (NDRA) provides a suite of services to support researchers with grant proposal identification and preparation. From assisting with finding funding opportunities through to requests for amended budgets, NDRA is available to help!
Funding Searches
NDRA can assist with searching for and identifying funding opportunities through the ProQuest Pivot database.
For assistance with Pivot, please contact Notre Dame Research’s Director of Pre-Award Administration.
Reviewing Requirements
Grant proposal requirements can often be complicated to identify and understand. NDRA is available to assist in reviewing all sponsor guidelines, including identifying key issues, and reviewing contractual terms.
In addition, NDRA is available to meet and discuss proposal development and coordination, including the development of timelines.
Proposal Development & Submission
The Pre-Award Team can assist with the complete development of research or grant proposals, including:
- Preparing budgets and reviewing budget justifications
- Securing subcontract information
- Assisting with cost-share commitments and documentation
- Assisting with sponsor forms and electronic submissions systems
- Reviewing provided biosketches and Collaborators and Other Affiliations (COA) forms, as well as assisting in the preparation and review of other non-technical documents
- Providing templates and samples of key documents, such as Letters of Intent
The Pre-Award Team can also assist with finalizing the proposal submission, including obtaining appropriate approval signatures and other institutional approval, and, ultimately, submission.
Post-Submission Activities
NDRA is available to support post-submission requests from the sponsor, such as requests for revised budgets.
