Preparing Proposal

proposal
Preparing a proposal involves collaboration amongst sponsor, study team, and ORA.

The Office of Research Administration (ORA) appreciates the continued partnership with the UM research community to facilitate and expedite the processing of your externally sponsored applications. UM has implemented initiatives to facilitate successful collaborations and application submission: the ORA Application Deadline Policy the requirement to use IBISResearch for All Grants & Sponsored Agreements and the Grants Ancillary Review Matrix.

It is important to prepare a proposal that is well-written, contains all the required information, as well as follows the funding opportunity guidelines and/or application instructions. We have compiled relevant information to facilitate the development of a compliant proposal.
