Proposal Development Services
The Office of Research & Economic Development enables the development of large, complex research proposals of strategic importance to LSU through comprehensive support services. We tailor services depending on the size and scope of individual research teams, funding sources, and agreements in coordination with college research operations. Our priority decision matrix for how we allocate resources and support team, proposal, and project development is as follows.
Tier I proposals
- 1-2 researchers responding to a standard notice of funding opportunity or request for proposals
Tier II proposals
- 1 researcher pursuing a strategic or honorific award, such as an early-career or NSF CAREER award
Tier III proposals
- Teams pursuing seed grants, limited submissions, research based on agreements <$750,000/year
Tier IV proposals
- Large teams pursuing strategic research grants, limited submissions, agreements >$750,000/year
