As demands on our fiscal resources grow, grant writing is a key strategy to advance and accelerate development of our academic programs, student support programs and faculty research. Faculty and staff with a general interest in grant writing or a specific competition in mind should contact Ann Robinson (arr3@pitt.edu) to talk about how the faculty/staff and OSP can best collaborate to produce a competitive proposal.
Frequently requested information is accessible below:
- Guidelines for Proposal Submission for Faculty and Staff - The guidelines provide a clear statement of the procedures faculty and staff should follow in submitting proposals for external funding. Please note two important provisions:
