Proposal Resource Navigator

The proposal process can be complex and time-consuming, and we understand that faculty members are often balancing numerous responsibilities. Our goal is to streamline this experience and make the process more manageable for you. Luckily, here at NC State, the PDU has done a fantastic job of developing key resources such as workshop recordings, podcasts, documents, and significant links.

Each entry on the spreadsheet highlights the main topics of a resource, such as main ideas of a workshop or a brief outline of material discussed, allowing you to quickly identify which materials will best support your specific needs and goals. There are tips for grant writing, a breakdown of an NSF proposal, understanding the DoD, timelines for different agencies, collaborating with large, international or interdisciplinary groups and so on. 

Please note that this is a living document. We are committed to keeping it updated as requirements and information evolve. If you encounter outdated content or have suggestions for additional resources, we encourage you to reach out to the Office of Faculty Development and Support (OFDS) at engineeringfds@ncsu.edu.

If you are searching the Navigator, type “Ctrl F” and type a specific topic or category to filter resources.

Thank you for your dedication to advancing your research and proposals. We’re here to support you!
