Grant Writing Services

If you would like to request any of the below services, please SUBMIT A SERVICE REQUEST.
(Only to be used if you are an eligible PI based on the guidelines reviewed in this policy.)

Identify funding sources

UNO's grant writers can help faculty locate external funding, develop customized funding searches, and set up email alerts using funding databases such as Pivot. Pivot is a powerful search tool designed to send you weekly updates on funding opportunities that meet your search criteria.

Contact funding agency program officers

We can also help initiate and establish effective lines of communication with appropriate grant program officers. Program officers often provide valuable insight on ways to strengthen proposals for more favorable reviews.

Proposal outline and planning services

The grant writers can help develop outlines for proposals to ensure writing aligns with agency guidelines prior to working on the full narrative.

Additional Services, Training, & Outreach

Liaise with UNO Office of Research staff – UNO's grant writers work alongside research administrators (RAs) in the Office of Research to form a pre-award proposal development team for faculty. These teams can help you develop narrative, budget, budget justification, letters of support, and any necessary supplemental materials.

Grant writing workshops for faculty – Each spring semester, the Office of Research offers a series of proposal development workshops. The grant writing workshop schedule for Spring 2020 is forthcoming.

Grant writing workshops for NSF Graduate Research Fellow applicants – Each fall semester, the Office of Research offers a series of proposal development workshops for students who would like to apply to the NSF GRF program.

Louisiana Board of Regents workshops – Each fall semester, the Office of Research offers several workshops specific to the annual Board of Regents grant program.

Coordinate tracking of faculty service as external grant reviewers – Serving as a grant reviewer with sponsoring agencies is a way to network and form a better understanding of how your own proposals are ranked by peer reviewers. UNO's grant writers, in partnership with the Director of External Collaboration, can help faculty identify opportunities to serve as grant reviewers and will track faculty reviewers who share their service record with the Office of Research.
