Budgeting & Technical Support
The ORS team assists CON Researchers in developing budgets that comply with sponsor guidelines to mirror proposed actual expenses. In addition, we offer technical support to navigate the complexities of sponsored funding. This includes working with community sponsors and sub-recipients, developing and maintaining bio sketches, proposal checklists, light copy-editing, and general sponsor and FSU compliance.
Mock Review
What is a mock review?
A mock review is a pre-submission review of a PI's proposal. FSU experts provide constructive comments on a proposal prior to the agency submission, giving the PI time to make revisions and ultimately increase the likelihood of the proposal being funded.
Why should you submit your proposal to a mock review?
A mock review will allow you to get feedback on both the methodology and the format of your proposal prior to the agency review. With a mix of experienced reviewers—some familiar with your research areas and others with specific agency review experience—many problems can be identified and addressed prior to the agency review of your proposal.
