Reminder: External grants & fellowships

Did you know that proposals for external funding (i.e., outside MSU) may need to be reviewed by MSU before you submit? Reach out to the Office of Research Administration (ORA) as early as possible to check whether this applies to a proposal you’re working on, and we’ll support you throughout this process. The ORA can help you find grants/fellowships, prepare your proposal and budget, navigate MSU’s required internal review, and more. Find resources on our Teams site, schedule a one-on-one appointment, and stay up to date on funding opportunities by subscribing to our monthly newsletter.
