Support for Proposals and Grants
Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing
We are dedicated to providing you with the best possible customer experience, so please share your honest feedback.
The Office of Nursing Research and Scholarship (ONRS) works closely with Faculty/Investigator by coordinating a timeline that facilitates the development, preparation, and submission of an application to a funding agency. Once an application is funded, the Office assists the study principal investigator in start-up and administering the grant. Office support services are described below. We encourage you to contact us early in the development of ideas for a proposal submission (at least 30 days before the submission deadline is recommended).
