Description
The University of Kentucky’s Complex Grant Development Program, run by the Proposal Development Office, provides tailored support for developing and submitting specific complex grant proposals. It helps faculty navigate university research infrastructure and processes, access coordinated resources across university units, and obtain specialized assistance with proposal preparation, budgets, regulatory submission, project management, partner coordination, and compliance.
The program focuses on complex proposals with bold thematic visions, broad scope, and transformational research, often contributing to a larger national agenda. Such proposals may combine complementary projects and cores, multidisciplinary approaches, and internal and external partners. Other defining features include high-level team management, education and training aligned with the research theme, and potential for long-term sustainability.
