3. How do I support the work you do?

4. Things to know We are a new function here, and still developing the policies and protocols we will need. These should all be in place by January. That said, our goal is to get viable, quality proposals out the door to funding sources as quickly as possible. The faster we obtain funding (and we are having very good results thus far) the faster we build our reputation as a unique medical educational and research enterprise. I am your first resource for questions regarding grant development, institutional approval, and grants administration. Dont hesitate to ask for help. If I dont know the answer, Ill find it. Slight caveat – at present, I am a one person office serving both sides of campus - patience is gratefully appreciated.

5. More things to know Your colleagues come from a wide variety of backgrounds – major research institutions, corporations, health care providers, state agencies. There are significant opportunities for collaboration both internally and externally. Seek them out. Top of the protocol list is to keep your department chair in the loop on your research and program ideas. They will need to approve your concept before you begin to work with me to seek funding.

6. Still more things to know There will be workshops on all aspects of proposal development during the year. Please come. Key to your development will be allowing enough time to develop quality proposals. This can be difficult with your teaching loads and the short windows of opportunity on some grants. Planning ahead is good. I LOVE heads up and lead time.
