New Research Development Services Now Available to CLAS Faculty

Are you preparing a grant proposal and need support with proofreading or technical editing? Grant Management Services (GMS) now provides Research Development Services (RDS) for faculty in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Offered as part of the pre-award process, RDS is designed to help researchers develop well-structured, compelling proposals that align with funder guidelines and stand out to reviewers. Support is available for proofreading, technical editing, resubmission assistance—or all the above.

To request RDS support, simply check the box for Research Development Services in the GMS grant proposal notification form.

RDS is coordinated by Courtney Gunter, Grants and Contract Associate.
