Grant Submission Assistance Guidelines

The programs detailed below can be used individually or together. It is our belief that using both editing and peer-review embodies best practices and will maximize the prospects for success.

All investigators involved in multi-investigator proposals must agree to the project’s involvement in the program and designate one investigator to lead participation in the program. 

Please direct any questions to RGS.review@campusad.msu.edu

Grant Editing

The Grant Consulting and Editing Program connects investigators with an NIH proposal specialist, who will help hone and “sell” the proposal. Prior peer-review is recommended, but not required. Please see the requirements for participation in the requirements for the Grant Editing Program.

Peer-Review Coordination

The Peer-Review Coordination Program connects investigators with colleagues on or off campus who can provide a scientific review of the proposal.

Cost Share Breakdown

All costs will be split as follows:

Office of Research & Innovation = 60%
Investigator's College = 40%

Please note:

• Amounts exceeding $250 for peer review will not be split or covered by the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation.
• The Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation will only be communicating with and charging, the colleges. If a college wishes to split their costs with corresponding departments, they must do so at their own discretion.
• The Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation will handle the processing of payments to the peer-reviewers and editors. The colleges will then be charged at the end of this process for their portion, based on their faculty use.
