The goal of submitting the highest quality proposal is accomplished through a strong collaboration between researchers and research administration staff. Located in the Office of Research Services, Pre-Award staff are assigned to each UMKC Division/School/College or unit to serve as a primary point of contact and to help facilitate the overall grant process while balancing the need for institutional and sponsor regulatory compliance. We are here to help you.
