Proposal Devleopment Resources
Proposal development assistance has been available to members since the inception of the MPC in 2000. We work individually with Principal Investigators during proposal development and preparation. Members receive assistance on determining the proper funding mechanism, crafting compelling arguments, developing clear and manageable research plans, creating biographical sketches and other necessary forms, budget preparation, assembling the final proposal, and guiding the proposal through the University bureaucracy.
