The Office of Proposal Development offers varied levels of assistance, with the goal of providing all Tufts investigators with tools to aid in receiving extramural funding. This assistance can take many forms, from providing templates for a specific section of a proposal to project management and writing assistance. Many of our services are detailed on this website.
For writing and project management assistance, we offer top priority to multi-investigator and/or multidisciplinary projects, such as program projects, training grants, and infrastructure-building grants. As resources allow, we also offer one-on-one assistance for principal investigators of individual research grants. For more information on how the university determines Principal Investigator eligibility, please see the policy on the Office of the Vice Provost website.
If you would like to learn more about what level of assistance our office can provide to you for a specific project of any scale, please contact us at (617) 636-2480 or email proposaldevelopment@tufts.edu as soon as possible in advance of any internal or agency deadline.
