Review of Grant Applications
The review of grant applications can be facilitated through the Research Office. This service is not mandatory and is available to those faculty members interested in having their grants reviewed.
If you are interested in this service, please email us well in advance of the submission deadline. When expressing this interest, please feel free to suggest potential reviewers, including internal faculty members and external experts whom you feel would likely be willing to review your grant. We are also happy to generate a list of potential internal reviewers for the grant. The Research Office will then reach out to potential reviewers to secure their assistance. This process may take several days, depending on reviewer availability.
Once an initial draft of your grant is complete, please submit this draft to us. Please note that reviewers will require at least 10 days to complete their reviews, therefore, it is important that grants be submitted well in advance of submission deadlines.
If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
