Research Services
Overview
The goal of the SPH Office of Research Services (ORS) is to encourage, increase and support SPH investigator-led proposal development and to increase the success ratio for submitted propsals.
SPH ORS offers a menu of services (ranging from scientific grant review to budget development to "one-stop shopping") that investigators can choose from to meet their proposal development needs. We encourage investigators to contact the SPH ORS early in the process so that adequate time is available for optimal proposal development.
To accommodate the scientific grant review effort, SPH will work with faculty in SPH, UIC and the greater metropolitan area to develop a panel of scientists willing to review proposals.
