The Provost Grant Writing Program enhances efforts to develop and submit high-quality proposals for extramural funding.
This mechanism is focused on supporting postdoctoral fellows who are selected by faculty and designated as Provost Postdoctoral Fellows (PPF). As a PPF, a portion of the postdoc鈥檚 effort will be devoted to contributing to proposals for external support on which the faculty member is the PI. PPFs will be expected to participate in a series of proposal development and writing workshops hosted by the Graduate School and Office of Postdoctoral Affairs.
For questions regarding the Provost Postdoctoral Fellowship, please contact Faith Bishop, Associate Director, Office of Postdoctoral Affairs.聽
