Description
The Cornell Center for Social Sciences (CCSS) at Cornell University provides funding to help Cornell researchers hire professional support for ambitious external grant applications. The program addresses the time needed to organize research ideas, preliminary findings, and proposed research into the format required by an external funding agency.
Support covers grant writing, content editing, and proofreading, rather than carrying out the proposed research itself. Researchers can use the award to obtain assistance with these aspects of proposal preparation. CCSS can also help connect researchers with relevant grant-writing experts.
