Submission Resources

Steps for Grant Submission for External Funding

At CHHS, we strive to follow best practices from other well-established research institutions. As such, please view a proposed timeline of actions for grant submission for external funding by faculty from CHHS.

At the time of the mock review, there should be go/no-go status checks where the NIH mock review panel and the ADR decide if a grant will be ready, or if it needs more development/substantial revision prior to submission.
