Research is critical to our accreditation as a medical school, and we value our faculty and partners that dedicate their time to crafting proposals and designing competitive applications. The Pre-Award Office at the John A. Burns School of Medicine provides administrative assistance for faculty and staff at the pre-award stage in the grant proposal process, especially for departments without critical administrative support or expertise. The office works in close collaboration with the Dean’s Office, the Office of Central Fiscal and Human Resources, and the Office of Research Services (ORS). The ORS retains responsibility for policy interpretation and institutional signatory authorization on all outgoing proposals. The JABSOM Pre-Award Office is established to facilitate the grants preparation and submittal process. Assistance may include: myGRANT preparation, myGRANT review, budget development, assembly of proposal packages, and other requests as staff and resources permit. The Pre-Award Office further facilitates designing and administering effective procedures that help navigate the proposal submission process for its faculty and staff.
