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. RDS will review for formatting, spelling, grammar, continuity, presentation, readability, and responsiveness to the sponsor. This does not have to be the complete proposal. RDS can review sections as they are completed by the PI.
