Craft a Competitive Proposal

Creating a competitive proposal involves more than just writing a project description. Research Office units specialize in helping you with crafting all the components needed to present your plans and expertise in a concise, compelling way that meets all the sponsor’s requirements. And if you proposal is declined, there’s help with deciding how to moving forward.
