Grant Proposal Manager Services
Preparing a large, "center-level" grant proposal can be complex and time consuming. As a complement to the services provided by Sponsored Project Administration, OVPR is now providing the services of a Grant Proposal Manager — Jeralyn Haraldsen, Ph.D.
Jeralyn Haraldsen offers additional resources necessary to shepherd complex proposals through the writing and submission process.
Jeralyn can be contacted at Jeralyn.Haraldsen@uvm.edu or 802-656-2982. Find out more about Jeralyn.

Prioritization
Priority will be given to large, complex, multi-disciplinary grant proposals to support high-impact, center-level research and scholarship (typically with budgets greater than $1M in annual total direct costs).
Assistance may also be available on a more limited basis to individual investigator proposals, and to providing training and support to faculty members new to writing grant proposals.
Requests for assistance will be prioritized as follows:
- Large, complex, multi-disciplinary, and multi-investigator proposals (e.g., centers, program projects, training grants, and infrastructure-building grants)
- Individual investigator proposals and new faculty proposals
- Faculty members new to writing grant proposals
The following will also be taken into consideration:
- Current and projected workload of grant proposal manager
- Timeliness of request — ideally more than 12-16 weeks prior to deadline
- Alignment with areas of institutional priority
For proposals that require cost share or match, investigators must document required commitments prior to engagement with the grant proposal manager.
