Research Advocates

What are Research Advocates? 

  • If you are in need of support or have questions about the research process or proposal preparation, contact us at ResearchDevelopment@bgsu.edu. 
  • Whether inquiring about getting started in writing proposals for funding or needing additional support while crafting budgets, the Research Advocates are available to answer questions, guide processes, and direct project inquiries across the Division of Research. In addition to expanding professional development offerings to target proposal planning and preparation, the Research Advocates work one-on-one with faculty to support them in the pre-award stages of research development.  
  • If you are in need of urgent, time-sensitive support for an initiated project, please reach out to your Sponsored Programs Coordinator.
