RDS Technical Assistance Request

Research Development Services (RDS) provides UIC faculty and staff a comprehensive range of proposal development support in order to increase extramural funding.

ARRA Related Proposal Development Technical Assistance Services

Our goal is to provide customized technical assistance geared to the PIs specific needs. The types of assistance we offer include:

Helping PIs determine eligibility and project suitability for ARRA funding opportunities.
Reviewing sponsor guidelines with PIs to help them develop a submission plan and timeline.
Preparing PIs for conference calls/meetings with program officers.
Budget review and development.
Editorial review of proposal narrative. We will review for formatting, spelling, grammar, continuity, presentation, readability, and responsiveness to the sponsor. We do not need to have the complete proposal, and will review sections as they are completed by the PI.
