Grant Writing Services

The grant writer coordinates efforts to secure external funding both from public and private sector grantors. In order to assist the faculty and staff of CEPS, the grant writer:

  • Provides current information on sources of grant funding (federal, state, local, private);
  • Researches funding opportunities as requested;

  • Provides and obtains current guidelines for application process;

  • Assists with development of ideas for projects and budget preparation to ensure all UCO and     funder policies are followed;

  • Acts as liaison with funding agency personnel (obtains sample funded proposals, clarifies questions about selection criteria, etc.)

  • Edits or critiques proposals and concept papers, or assists with drafts, revisions, and preparation of formal proposals;

  • Reviews all institutional proposals submitted to funding agencies by CEPS faculty and staff;

  • Obtains signature(s) of the certifying official of the College;

  • Assists with online submission of proposals, and/or mailing of proposals.

  • Maintains file copies of all pending, funded, and unfunded proposals submitted by CEPS; and

  • Provides grant management orientation and ongoing assistance with compliance for project directors

It is important to note that the grant writer is not an expert in all content areas. Rather, the grant writer provides technical expertise and assistance in the research, development, and submission of grant proposals.
