DEDICATED TO HELPING NEOMED FACULTY ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE
Program for Funding Reviews of Research Proposals
Purpose
The Office of Faculty Enrichment & Engagement (OFEE), in collaboration with the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs (ORSP), is pleased to announce the implementation of a new program to support faculty submitting proposals for extramural funding. Effective December 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023, funds will be available for faculty and staff that wish to have a research proposal reviewed by an external evaluator. The criteria for this program are detailed below:
Criteria
- Who May Apply: Any faculty member that is on the tenure track, non-tenure track, or is tenured. NEOMED staff are also welcome to submit an application,
- Eligible Granting Agencies: All granting agencies (government, public and private) will be given consideration,
