There are many facets to developing a competitive proposal. One has to write a coherent application that includes sound research methods, reasonable costs and justifications. The successful sponsored program begins with an idea. After the idea, one puts structure to the idea through a research outline, locates possible sponsors, and then organizes the project to meet the sponsor’s rules as well as ULM’s requirements. Each link below provides information to accomplish the tasks. OSPR is here to assist you in all the stages of proposal development.
