Research Administration
Pre-Award Services
Our Pre-Award service delivers comprehensive support, acting as dedicated concierges for faculty members and departments/units with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). By assuming full administrative responsibility for pre-award duties, we empower faculty to concentrate on their projects' intricate scientific and technical aspects.
Our array of pre-award services includes, but is not limited to:
- Serving as subject matter experts on the pre-award process
- Reviewing and interpreting proposal Request for Applications/Calls
- Developing grant proposals
- Assisting in the creation of research grant budgets
- Managing proposal submissions with detailed checklists, timelines, updates, and follow-ups
- Acting as liaisons between faculty and other departments/staff involved in the grant submission process
- Coordinating institutional routing and proposal review processes
The unit also assists with interpreting contracts and grants policies and general research administration questions.
If you would like to set up a consultation to work with us, please reach out to Christopher Wang at chjwang@ucdavis.edu.
