“Elevator Pitch” Program
This program is designed to help faculty and postdocs develop a concise and compelling 1-2 page summary of your research ideas to share with a program officer. Follow the guidelines (DOCX) and you will receive external feedback on your draft in order to refine your pitch. Arrange a visit to see a program officer and we will subsidize your trip up to $100. While summaries are accepted on a rolling basis, it is recommended that you start the process 3-4 months before your anticipated full proposal submission date.
Pre-submission Proposal Review Program
If you have a solid draft of a proposal (no need for budget or supplemental information), the Research Office can arrange for external review. Proposals must be submitted for review one month in advance of the federal agency submission date. The funding for this program is from the West Virginia EPSCoR Office.
