• Our events bring small and large groups together to discuss current opportunities and to plan for future ones to create a community of practice dedicated to improving teaming, proposals, and award performance within and across ASU’s research enterprise.
• Opportunity Managers support the limited submissions process by providing a transparent, equitable, and efficient method for selecting proposals when solicitations have institutional limits. Opportunity Managers also promote and highlight Internal Funding programs and faculty Nominations & Award opportunities.
• Proposal Managers connect early and often with teams to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposal development period using industry best practices for large-scale and strategic proposals.
• Graphic Designers support the effective use of graphics through data visualization, infographics, and illustrations for large and strategic proposals.
• Research Editors offer free, confidential editing services to ASU faculty, research staff, and postdocs, enhancing the logic, clarity, and coherence of academic writing while ensuring adherence to guidelines and readability for diverse audiences.
