Faculty Research Support

Getting Started

UNM’s Faculty Research Development Office has resources such as proposal preparation and budget assistance (in the PI Toolkit), templates and common boilerplate language, links to SciENcv for NSF and NIH documents, information on limited competitions, and guides to help faculty find funding and develop research projects.. Request a consultation by using the Request Research Support button below. Or reach out directly to SA+P’s research support officer, Ashley Lazevnick at alazevnick@unm.edu.

Submitting a Proposal

A faculty research support officer assists faculty members developing grant budgets and submitting the proposal. UNM uses Streamlyne as its platform for grant proposal review. Prior to submitting an external grant proposal or professional contract, the proposal must be approved by the Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP).

Faculty request assistance for proposal development support using the link below. Faculty can also request editing assistance and assistance developing graphics for proposals.
