HSLS often receives questions from faculty members working on grants. We are pleased to share two new resources from the Pitt Research Concierge Program that will likely increase success and decrease burden: the Proposal Repository and Learning Lab Resources.
The Proposal Repository offers a collection of successful grant proposals from major funding agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, other federal agencies, and private foundations. This new resource allows faculty to explore awarded proposals from various disciplines and funding levels, providing insight into what makes grant applications successful. The Proposal Repository is searchable by funding agency, grant type, school, or department. Access is restricted to Pitt faculty, and sensitive details and budgetary information have been redacted. New proposals will be added on an ongoing basis.
The newly launched Learning Lab Resources webpage serves as a central hub to quickly locate University-wide resources supporting every stage of the sponsored programs lifecycle. With a user-friendly search tool, faculty and research-related staff can easily connect with the offices, services, and tools available to assist with their research, including those offered at HSLS.
