Given the extended inability to host in-person events and interact on campus, the IUP Research Institute is hosting a series of Zoom research-related workshops during the spring 2021 semester. No registration or RSVPs required.

Meet the RI Team

  • Wednesday, February 24
  • 10:00-11:00 a.m.
  • The 10 team members of the Research Institute will be available to introduce ourselves, explain our individual and collective roles, and talk with you about how, specifically, we can assist you with your grantsmanship. The RI assists with all aspects of grantsmanship and research administration—from finding funding opportunities that match your project idea to proposal and budget development, grant submission, award negotiations, and post-award grant management.
  • Join from PC, Mac, iOS or Android
  • Or join by phone:
    • +1 312 626 6799 (US Toll) or +1 646 558 8656 (US Toll)


Mark your calendars for these upcoming sessions:

SPINPlus: IUP's Grant Search Database

March 24, 2:00-3:00 p.m.

Learn how to navigate the site, search and receive tailored grant opportunities, and create a profile that will help you build your research portfolio.

Proposal Development Tips of the Trade

April 13, 2:00-3:00 p.m.

In this session, we will review the required sections of a typical grant proposal, share tips from successful proposals, and talk about how to develop your idea into a fundable proposal.

Developing a Successful Grant Budget

April 26 2:00-3:00 p.m.

The proposal budget is as important as your technical narrative. It is the roadmap for your success. Missing key pieces of the budget can jeopardize your award, cause significant delays at award stage, or present insurmountable challenges during your project period of performance. Join us to learn how to develop a reasonable, justifiable, and compliant budget that will allow for a smooth journey during the life of the project.
