proposal intake formStart your proposal here

  • To make the proposal process easier we created this simple online intake form. Just click on the button above and fill out some basic information about your proposal (should take about 5 to 10 minutes).
  • After you submit the form, a Cayuse SP record will automatically be created for you and an OSP Proposal Analyst will guide you through the next steps.
  • If you already created a Cayuse SP record, just be sure to let your OSP Proposal Analyst know by submitting an OSP Notification form.

The Office of Research Development (RD) helps researchers identify funding opportunities and works with them to build and submit competitive proposals. 

Please contact us at resdev@ucsc.edu if you are:

  • wondering about how to find research funding opportunities
  • curious about the extramural funding landscape
  • thinking about preparing a competitive research proposal
  • interested in participating in a collaborative multi-investigator large-scale competitive proposal
  • hopeful that your draft proposal could get some advance review and feedback
  • wishing there was an opportunity for constructive debriefing of proposal outcomes
