Research Staff
The CEHS Grant Specialists assist faculty with obtaining funding for research projects both internally and externally to UNL. The Grant Specialists help faculty with the grant proposal preparation and submission process and with monitoring awards. The Grant Specialists can provide assistance with:
- Assisting with budget preparation and drafting justification
- Monitoring awards to ensure compliance with applicable laws and sponsor guidelines, and
- Assisting with the management of budgets, expenses and personnel appointments
Grant Proposal Process
CEHS Grant Specialists are excellent resources for budget preparation, with knowledge about adequate funds for proposed research along with allowability of proposed costs, ensuring that no matching obligations are included when not required. Adequate time is required for proper pre-award reviewing so faculty are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate Grant Specialist early in the grant application process.
