At least a month before your grant is due to NIH or any other external funding agency, please declare your intent to submit here. A member of our team will reach out to you within two business days to confirm your grant submission timeline and will provide a list of required documents and relevant templates. We will work with you closely to help prepare your budget documents for submission and will serve as your liaison with OSP.
