The coordinator will also assist with improving the content, clarity, organization and visual appeal of written documents; write scientific and non-scientific proposal sections; and edit proposal drafts. This position supports collaboration among colleagues, administrators, and faculty leaders during the development of large, interdisciplinary and multi-institutional proposals. The coordinator also participates in meetings of the proposal writing and development teams, develops proposal writing timelines, acts to hone the message in proposal narratives, and collaborates with the Office of Sponsored Programs to help ensure compliance with sponsor requirements and to expedite submission.
