I’ve located a funder that is a good match for my project. Now what?
Contact us for support. We ask that you complete the CFR Grant Proposal Request Form (see bottom of page 14 to access it) so that we can get an idea of your work and you can think through the questions that will be further developed in your proposal: • What is the idea or problem you want to tackle? Why is it important? To whom is it important? • What gap does your project fill? What does your project aim to do? What are the outcomes? What will your research/project contribute? What will be understood when it is complete? • How will you achieve your goals? How long will it take? • Why will your project succeed? What will success look like, and how will it be measured? How will you share the results? • Will the project/research continue once grant funding ends? If so, how might it be funded? Upon receiving your request, our office will consult with you to determine where we can assist you. This might include: • Creating a checklist of everything the funder requires you to submit with your proposal. • Developing a realistic timeline , working backward from the deadline for proposal submission. • Scheduling time to work on your budget. The funder may have an official budget template on their website • Requesting letters of support or commitment, if required. Make sure your recommenders are aware of all deadlines. CFR will draft letters for the president and/or provost if they are required.
