The Office of Research and Economic Development partners with Hanover Research to offer a year-long Grants Academy for a cohort of early investigators across campus. In collaboration with the Grants Development Office, Hanover will support PIs to identify, pursue and secure competitive extramural funding to advance individual investigators’ research goals and career development. The Academy offers informative and interactive group instruction, delivered in a cohort model, tailored to the needs and interests of participants. In addition to face-to-face and online delivery of workshop trainings, participants will receive deliberate and intensive consultation across all stages of proposal development: concept planning, funding opportunity positioning, and proposal review/critique/revision. We are asking for specific information from applicants to ensure a good fit between the goals and experience level of faculty involved in the Grants Academy and the services Hanover Research provides.
