Proposal Development Services

Assist and Coordinate Large and Complex Proposal Efforts

Large and Complex Proposals include proposals with large budgets ($2,500,000 or more), center awards, proposals involving multiple academic units/external partners, or other proposals of strategic importance to George Mason University. Support may include: 

  • Assistance with strategic development of research, program project, center, consortium, research training and cooperative grant proposals;
  • Development of internal and external strategic alliances to help build effective teams, translate research discoveries and provide access to collective research resources; and
  • Proposal management (e.g. creating timelines, reviewing the grant application, cross-walking the grant application to the solicitation requirements and review criteria, assisting with non-subject matter specific sections; and serving as a liaison to Research Administration and the Office of Sponsored Programs).

Please complete the intake form to request assistance for large and complex multidisciplinary proposals.

Reminder: Support Letters from senior Mason leadership (e.g. Associate Vice President for Research, Provost) must be requested through your academic unit Associate Dean of Research well in advance of submission deadline.  For more information and resources see: Letters of Support
