The Division of Engineering Research
(DER) serves as a centralized facility for the College of Engineering for research-related
activities. This consists primarily of Pre-Award activities, including electronic distribution of funding opportunities, proposal preparation and submission,
including NSF fastlane, budget preparation. In addition testing, facilities modification, cost-share and start-up account management, technology transfer and industrial relations are also part of DER.
Proposals
& Budgets
Please
complete the Proposal Processing Form
[note this only works with Explorer, not Netscape] and contact
Cindy Sweeley or
Lou Ann Sellers (355-5103).
By doing this as soon as possible (even before the technical
portion is completed!), it ensures that there is time to prepare
an accurate transmittal and budget, and to get the necessary
signatures before submission.
