Proposal Development

The HHS Office of Research assists faculty with the development of proposals to obtain research funding through externally sponsored programs. With a strong history of working with investigators to obtain funding from federal, state, community and foundation sponsors, the research staff is committed to furthering the research enterprise at UNC Greensboro.

OOR financially supports the scientific and/or editorial review of external funding proposals to help strengthen proposals which are submitted to various funding agencies. Please direct questions and requests to the HHS Associate Dean for Research, Dr. Esther Leerkes, or to the HHS Assistant Dean for Research Finance and Operations, Lisa Walker.
