Support with proposals
The Research Support Office (RSO) provides your support and expertise in all phases of your research project, from preparation, initiation, application, and the contract phase to execution and reporting.
If you are a researcher preparing a major project proposal for external research funding, you can get support from the Research Support Office. The support can be on matters such as analysis of a call text, structuring of a project and proposal, or requirements and expectations from funding agencies.
Analysing a call text
RSO can help you to analyse a call text and/or its background information to find out the underlying intention and expectations of the call.
The project proposal and content
RSO can help you formulate your proposal in a structured way that meets the criteria of the funding agencies and reviewers.
Selection criteria and requirements of research funding agencies
We offer support in reading your draft proposal and provide feedback on its structure and how well it meets the criteria and requirements specified by a particular funding agency.
Specific questions and requirements
If you have specific questions, RSO can guide you in addressing the funding agency’s requirements, such as research ethics, gender aspects, open access, or export control.
