| Proposal Submission: How to Get Started |
UNT's ultimate goal is to have faculty at 100% externally funded Research with buyouts for Instruction Grants can be used to earn summer salary, which is paid at higher rate than teaching Denise Simmons (former NIH) and Rick Nader (former NSF) help with proposal development Contact Jose Grimaldo at Research office early with sponsor, RFP, deadline, and which program so he can assign a Grant Officer Research office can help with collaborations, sub-contracts, intellectual property, proposal reviews, etc. Facilities & Administration (F&A) or Indirect Costs (IDC) reflect the overhead cost of doing business Recognition Amounts and IDC Allocations are scored, so need to reflect effort indicated in the proposal Include 3% increase each year for multi-year proposals Only include cost share if required; "window dressing" does not improve proposal competitiveness If wish to partner with industry/corporation (which is encouraged), contact Research office; UNT does not do "work for hire" |

| NIH: Education and Research Opportunities |
Interdisciplinarity between different fields is important in tackling biomedical problems. Mandated NIH priorites include rare conditions, underfunded areas, and health disparities. There are many student and faculty research opportunities at NIH's over 1250 labs 1-2 concise, specific AIMS are most important part of NIH application, along with Research Design |

| New Faculty: Craft of Grant Writing |
Contact Research Services early if you plan to pursue a grant, so they can provide appropriate guidance RIG is intended as seed money for later pursuit of external funding The Small Grant Program is an emergency grant for in-between intramural funding opportunities; requires match PEST is for meeting with federal agency program officers to help develop relationships; requires match The Provost has the Summer Faculty Grant program, which can be used in addition to Research intramural funding Success in getting a grant is significantly correlated with the number of previous attempts; if you don't write a proposal, you won't get the $ |
