Pre-Award Proposal Development & Submission
Pre-Award provides comprehensive support to those seeking funding for research and other sponsored projects from both government and private sponsors.
Pre-Award Services
- Project development and identification of funding opportunities
- Customized proposal and budget development based on the investigator鈥檚 and project's unique needs
- Expeditious management of proposal routing and submissions
- Form/supplementary document coordination or completion
- Coordination with 撸先生 Foundation when necessary
- New award review and negotiation: Pre-Award reviews all new award agreements before they can be accepted by Towson University. In some cases, we must negotiate the agreement鈥檚 terms with the funder. Until Pre-Award confirms that the agreement has been successfully negotiated and accepted, please refrain from publicly announcing or publicizing the award.
