Pre-Award Grant Support Services

Our pre-award grants administration team is available to assist any research investigator or project director with the various aspects of a grant proposal. All faculty who have grants planned or in preparation should connect with the Office of Research pre-award team as quickly as possible to begin the institutional administrative process for your grant.

Our pre-award grants administration team is led by Meris Carte. Contact information for pre-award administration is:

Wichita campus faculty should contact Meris Carte to begin the process of working with IASC. IASC fees ($50/hr) will be paid by the Office of Research for faculty following this process.
