In collaboration with two faculty from CHSS (Heidi Lawrence and Douglas Eyman), the Office of Research Development is piloting grant writing feedback for faculty. There are two services provided:  Copy Editing and Proposal Feedback.  Faculty with nearly finalized proposals OR previously submitted proposals that failed to compete successfully in review will benefit from these pilots. 

The programs are as follows:

1-Copy Editing: Copy editing on a nearly finalized OR previously submitted proposals will be performed by student teams from English 503 (Theory and Practice of Editing)-English 483 (Technical Editing).  There is currently no charge for this service.  Applications must be submitted for copy editing by October 16th. All materials will be kept confidential, and all edits will be provided anonymously through course directors.  There are limited spaces for this pilot opportunity. Individuals selected to participate will be contacted by email with instructions for submitting application materials.  Advance registration required.  Sign up here.   

2-Proposal Editing: Graduate student led teams from English 489-509 (Proposal Writing/Development) will provide feedback on nearly finalized OR previously submitted proposals in terms of how the proposal meets the requirements of the proposal solicitation.  Please provide the proposal, and the proposal solicitation by October 26th. For previously reviewed proposals, faculty may also provide the reviewer comments.  All applications will be kept confidential.  There are limited spaces in this pilot opportunity. Individuals selected to participate will be contacted by email with instructions for submitting application materials. Advance registration required.   Sign up here.
