Proposal Submission
The Institute welcomes the opportunity to assist Members, students, community partners and others with proposal development. Assistance comes in many forms – discussing & refining ideas, facilitating partnerships with other researchers and/or target populations, reviewing proposals and providing letters of support.
Affiliation of proposals with the Institute in eTracs (ECU), PINS (NCSU) or RamSes (NCAT), helps with reporting of agromedicine-related research at the respective institutions as well as to the UNC General Administration.
At ECU, proposal affiliation also generates the return of a portion of facilities and administration (F&A) or in-direct costs to the Institute. These funds are used to support Member and student pilot projects, conferences, publication costs, equipment and other research-related activities.
Unsure of how to affiliate a proposal with the Institute in the grants system?
Contact the Institute Director at ECU, Robin Tutor, tutorr@ecu.edu,
the Campus Coordinator at NCSU, Greg Cope, greg_cope@ncsu.edu,
or NCAT, Crystal Kyle, cakyle@ncat.edu, or your institution’s research office.
