Ready to Start a Proposal?
Initiate a Proposal
Ready to launch your research project? The very first step in initiating a proposal is completing our brief KickStart pre-proposal survey. This survey gathers all the essential information your Grant Coordinator needs to understand your project—from the budget type to compliance needs—allowing them to quickly create your proposal in the electronic research administration system (CloudExpress) and provide you with a detailed planning timeline. Get started here to streamline your submission process!
