Program Overview
Revision Grants support UNL faculty revising and resubmitting proposals for federal funding by providing financial and developmental support to help improve highly meritorious but previously unfunded federal grant proposals that are eligible for resubmission to the same funding program. The expected outcome for these grants is for UNL principal investigators (PIs) to improve the competitiveness of revised and resubmitted federal grant proposals by strategically addressing proposal review comments.
Revision Grants provide financial support for PIs to address reviewers’ concerns and strengthen a proposal resubmission, including further preliminary study or data collection. Revision Grants also provide a framework for dedicated technical and research administration assistance (i.e., expert external review of revised grant proposals, Office of Research and Innovation proposal development support).
The rationale for this program is that access to financial resources and expert advice will enable investigators to address reviewers’ concerns, improving the likelihood of success for UNL faculty submitting revised federal grant proposals.
While not an exhaustive list of allowable activities, funds may be used to support:
- Preliminary studies, pilot projects, or prototype development.
- Data collection or analysis.
- Travel to conduct research/scholarship/creative endeavors or meet with collaborators.
- Demonstration of societal impacts such as educational/public service programs, activities, or resources.
- The preparation, development, and/or hosting of performances, recordings, and exhibitions.
Faculty are strongly encouraged to contact Matthew Dwyer at mdwyer4@unl.edu or 402-472-1661 before submitting a Revision Grant notice of intent to submit/proposal to discuss eligibility and appropriateness of the project for this program.
