External Proposal Review Program
By 2028, our goal is to top $100 million in sponsored projects annually. Additionally, ECU is excited to continue our support of faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and students as we grow and succeed as a R1 institution.
Our commitment to faculty success includes the opportunity to support faculty who are seeking extramural funds through our external review team. Reviews by experts help to increase the competitiveness of proposals, especially those responding to federal and or high value opportunities. Therefore, the Office of Research Development is providing external reviews for select proposals.
