Research Development

UT Southwestern's Research Development Office helps faculty make connections and find resources they need to push science forward. Our team can fill specific roles on your research team or provide comprehensive assistance.

Our Services

  • Project management: We offer comprehensive project management support, ensuring that all aspects of the grant application are well-organized and executed efficiently.
  • Collaboration with investigators and reviewers: We help identify potential collaborators, both internal and external to the institution, and work side-by-side with you to establish and maintain meaningful working connections.
  • Proposal development: Our team can assist with proposal development based on the unique needs of the study team. Some of the services we provide include:
    • Editing
    • Graphics
    • Formatting
    • Letters of support (LOS): We help draft effective LOS to strengthen your application.
    • Non-scientific sections: We will work closely with you and your department administration to ensure all required non-scientific sections are compliant and well-prepared. This might include administrative sections, budget justifications, and other required boilerplate language (e.g., Facilities and Other Resources).
