Proposals

Proposal Services

Pre-award refers to the initial phase of a grant, contract (agreement), or research project lifecycle, encompassing all activities from identifying opportunities and developing proposals to submitting them and awaiting a funding decision. Key aspects include searching for funding, creating budgets, and ensuring compliance with sponsor requirements before an award is granted. 

What's New?

We are excited to announce the launch of Cayuse Proposals, a centralized hub for managing research proposals. Tentative go-live in Spring 2026.
