Proposal Editing Services
Proposal development supports proposals with a team of staff and graduate student technical editors for individual or interdisciplinary proposals. This service is geared towards non-native English speakers.
Eligibility for Support
Faculty members, Research Scientists, and Postdocs who are seeking editing and proofreading on sponsored research proposals (grants) are eligible. This service is offered on a first-come, first-served basis and is subject to the editing team’s availability.
For assistance developing proposals for philanthropic organizations, please contact the Corporate and Foundation Relations team in the Division of Advancement.
What’s Included in the Editing
Services include editing, proofreading, and image/visual improvements. Proposal reviews include comments and suggestions that:
-
increase the resolution and clarity of images and tables
To request editing support, select “yes” on your GCS Request Form or email untresearchdevelopment@unt.edu to discuss if the project is eligible for editing services.
Graphics
The Research Development department provides graphic upgrade services for faculty proposals. Faculty are invited to send a completed graphic/mockup with guidance on the desired look of the final project. We will upgrade that graphic using professional graphic software; however, we cannot create graphic from scratch, only upgrade existing ones. See examples below.
