About Us
Research Development Services (RDS) supports faculty to help increase externally funded research activity at the university. Our office also oversees internal awards from the Office of the Vice President of Research and Innovation and coordinates the internal process for limited submission opportunities.
Our Services
Our services are designed to meet the unique needs of faculty across disciplines and career stages. We help researchers:
- Make long-term strategies for applying for external funding
- Identify funding opportunities
- Develop compelling, competitive proposals by providing help navigating funding guidelines and by reviewing and critiquing grant narratives and application materials.
- Help faculty with complex submissions (e.g., center grants, institutional training grants) with project management and institutional coordination.
- Become familiar with particular aspects of grant writing, particularly to federal agencies, through training and customized assistance.

Private Foundation Funding - When Foundation Relations Needs to be Notified
Submitting proposals to private foundations requires notifying Foundation Relations. Foundation Relations manages contacts with private foundations and ensures your proposal is submitted as required by each foundation. A list of private funders requiring the involvement of Foundation Relations can be found at this link. Please note this list may not be complete. If you are interested in applying to private foundation funding please reach out to Foundation Relations at foundationrelations@uoregon.edu. If you are unsure whether your proposal submission requires involvement of Foundation Relations, please reach out to our office at rds@uoregon.edu.
