Proposal Development Office (PDO), School of Medicine
The Proposal Development Office helps faculty members and teams from across the School of Medicine develop high-quality grant proposals. Its priorities for grants include large, complex, multi-investigator proposals, grants on topics aligned with the Dean's initiatives, and junior faculty, i.e., assistant professors, applying for their first major research grants, such as NIH R01 and similar grants. PDO’s services include identification of funding opportunities, review and editing of proposals, assistance drafting administrative documents, project management and support for large proposals, interfacing with sponsors and university central offices, and promoting collaborations. Please contact PDO directly at: proposaldevelopment_som@stanford.edu
