Research Development Overview

In 2024, the Office of Research & Graduate Studies (RGS) formally launched the Research Development program, which is is dedicated to providing researchers with the training and tools necessary to advance the culture of research and creative activities across the PSU community. Research Innovation at PSU is defined by our researchers who regularly engage in activities including novel discovery and translational work in the engineering and sciences, scholarship in the humanities, and creative works and performances in the arts.

The Research Development team provides enhanced resources, services and programs to help faculty and their teams enhance their granseeking skills and prepare more compelling, competitive proposals.

The Research Development team provides resources to help faculty find external funding opportunities that best fit their research activities. This includes information on Limited Submissions and how to submit a request for a limited submission opportunity.

Research Development Office provides a number of resources to faculty as they begin to develop new research proposals and projects. Examples of resources include standard proposal templates and "best practice" guidelines.

The Research Development team offers a number of services to support PIs as they navigate complex proposal submissions. Services range from providing assistance on obtaining institutional letters of support, high-level consulting on funding opportunities to strategic proposal development support for large, complex proposals. 

The Research Development team offers a variety of focused workshops, office hours, and in-depth cohort-based training opportunities to help faculty enhance their grant seeking skills.
