The Engineering Research Office staff is here to help engineering faculty pursue external funding for research. If you’re planning to respond to a solicitation or other proposal opportunity, contact Jada Huskey so that she can connect you to the support pipeline. Those interested in strengthening justification narratives or developing a strategic funding plan should contact Harry Richards. Early engagement is preferred and welcome!
