Office of Proposal Development

The College of IS&T Office of Proposal Development offers pre-award proposal development support. The Proposal Development Manager works closely with IS&T faculty and staff and UNO's Office of Research and Creative Activity (ORCA) to help maximize efficiency and impact of research proposals. Our team collaborates with faculty, staff, and graduate students to identify suitable funding opportunities, provide resources to guide in preparation of proposals that meet specific guidelines and requirements, and provide document review.
