Proposal Preparation

We collaborate with faculty to enhance proposals by providing the 鈥淏roader Impact and Education鈥 components of competitive grants. The process generally involves meeting with us to discuss the research focus, timeline, and objectives. We will review the research concepts and provide a summary outline of education and outreach activities that align best with the research focus and timeline of the project. Most often projects align well with our existing program infrastructure, providing a seamless integration to research and educational goals while increasing the competitiveness of proposals.

Professional Development

The E&O staff offers various opportunities to scientists and graduate students who are interested in learning and/or improving their teaching and communication skills. We can help you tell your science story in an effective, accurate and engaging way to multiple audiences. Check out our current graduate course offerings.

We will help plan, design, and promote these materials for distribution at schools, professional meetings, exhibits and community events.
