Pre-Award Services

ORI's Pre-Award Services team is committed to supporting faculty and staff in the development and submission of high-quality proposals and contracts seeking external funding for instruction, research, and other sponsored activities.

The development and submission of high-quality grant proposals is achieved through strong collaboration between researchers and research administration professionals. Within the Office of Research and Innovation, Pre-Award administrators are strategically assigned to each UMKC division, school, college, or unit to serve as dedicated points of contact. They provide guidance and support throughout the proposal process while ensuring adherence to institutional policies and sponsor regulations. Our team is committed to facilitating your research goals through responsive, knowledgeable support.
