Obtaining application forms
SR maintains an updated file of application information for specific federal and state grant programs, as well as a supply of current agency-wide application booklets for NSF and NIH. The Office handles requests for application materials that are not already on hand in the office.

Word processing and typing
Faculty may request assistance with the typing and word processing of application cover sheets, budget pages, and other forms; they should have their budgets approved by SR before submitting them for typing.

Reviewing and editing proposals
SR reviews all proposals before submission, checking for completeness and adherence to application guidelines and, when appropriate, offering editorial suggestions. OR staff is available to read preliminary drafts of proposals and to answer questions about the sponsoring agency's policies and procedures.
