The University of Iowa College of Dentistry Grant Support team assists faculty and researchers with navigating the grant process from start to finish. The office works closely with faculty, departments, and staff to ensure that all faculty have access to comprehensive support for:

2. Research Development

   The Grant Support Office offers comprehensive research development services to enhance proposal quality and competitiveness. Faculty can access specialized guidance on project design, funding strategies, and proposal preparation and editing (Grant Support Request Intake Form), and they also receive dedicated support from the Division of Biostatistics and Computational Biology for data analysis and methodology (Biostats Support Request Form). This collaborative approach ensures robust grant submissions aligned with funding agency priorities.

3. Pre-Award Grant Support

   The Pre-Award Grant Support team assists faculty in crafting competitive proposals by offering guidance on proposal development, budget creation, and submission processes. Researchers also benefit from compliance resources, templates, and timelines tailored to ensure successful submission. This proactive support helps streamline the grant application process and aligns proposals with sponsor requirements.

4. Post-Award Grant Support

   The Post-Award Grant Support team helps researchers manage the administrative and financial aspects of awarded grants. Services include monitoring budgets, ensuring compliance with funding agency requirements, and preparing required reports. With personalized support for PI transitions, documentation, and other post-award needs, the team facilitates smooth project management throughout the funding lifecycle.
