Proposal Development


Once you have identified a funding opportunity, the next step is to thoroughly review information about the program and what is required for a complete application. NDSU offers a variety of services and resources to help you navigate the proposal development process.

It is strongly encouraged that you discuss your idea with the appropriate program officer at the funding agency.
Check out the steps on best practices in communicating with the program officer.
All external proposals must be reviewed and approved by the Sponsored Programs Office prior to submission to any sponsor. See details on Submitting a Proposal.
