Research Development Team

Intake Process

To request to work with RDT, please email us the following information: 

  1. Information about the funding mechanism - e.g., a link to the NOFO / RFA. (It's helpful to know if the award is a 'limited opportunity'.)
  2. An estimate of the funding sought. (We generally focus on grants that provide >$1M in annual direct costs.)
  3. Application submission date.
  4. A project title and, if you have one, a draft of the Specific Aims.

We will review the provided info and then schedule a 15-30 minute follow-up conversation to learn more about what you have in mind and how we might be able to help. For example: have you spoken with the program officer (or equivalent); what other UChicago-based support have you engaged; do you need help with illustrations and/or graphics?

To prepare for that conversation, you may find it helpful to review this overview of our services.
