CISS Launches Grant Proposal Feedback Network

The newly launched Grant Proposal Feedback Network will link aspiring grant proposal writers with experienced funded researchers and members of grant review panels including National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation. Grant seekers will prepare a one-page summary or specific aims section, and will be matched with 2-3 seasoned scholars who will volunteer to provide feedback and guidance on the aims. Opportunities may be available for more extensive feedback on full proposals, contingent on the availability of expert reviewers. Faculty Affiliates and members of BU Social Science departments are eligible for participation. Please complete this survey to indicate how you would like to participate in this program. Questions should be sent to Deborah Carr, CISS Director (ciss@bu.edu).

CISS’s BU partners Federal Relations, Foundation Relations, and Office of Research provide extensive resources for faculty seeking external support, including funding source databases, and a library of funded proposals submitted by BU faculty.
