Welcome back and reminders from CHSS Pre-Award

From everyone at CHSS Pre-Award, we wanted to thank you all for your hard work over the past year and your perseverance through the shifting grant landscapes. We know how difficult it has been, and we are grateful for your patience throughout this past year.  

We are excited to kick the year off right!  

First, our PRA Form has been updated to reflect changes in RAMP and has clearer instructions.  The new form is now live!  Please remember to use this PRA form if you plan to submit an externally funded grant proposal. 

Second, as a reminder that our Finding Funding Opportunities (FFO) form is available for any faculty who would like some extra help finding alternative funding opportunities. Our team will work with you on using SPIN and the Foundation Directory – Candid, to search for funding and help identify some alternative funding opportunities for you.  

Finally, as the landscape surrounding funding is shifting so rapidly, a quick reminder to sign up for the CHSS Pre-Award listserv, where we share recent changes to federal requirements, open funding opportunities, and announcements for proposal and project development.  

We look forward to working with everyone in 2026!
