Large Grant Proposal Development

The Research Development Office’s Large Grant Development Program is available to assist your team with the development of large, complex program-type grants (e.g., NIH P01, P50, U54). Below are some of the services that the Large Grant Development Program can provide:

• Project management of the proposal development and preparation process, including timeline development and tracking, liaison with the funding agency or Research Management Services
• Editing the overall project aims, theme and description, as well as individual core and project components, written by the respective PIs
• Proofreading the final document to ensure English accuracy and overall consistency
• Curating template language for programmatic sections (e.g., Facilities and Resources) found at http://guides.ucsf.uedu/rdo (access limited to UCSF IPAs)
