The Research Grants and Contracts services team promote the research enterprise at MaineHealth by assisting investigators with preparation and submission of grant applications, developing and reviewing research contracts and sub-award agreements, and managing research grants once they are awarded.
The department provides advice on federal research policies, identifies and distributes funding opportunities, provides guidance on legal aspects of research agreements, develops institutional policies and provides writing, editing, budgeting and grantsmanship assistance for grant proposals.
All research grant applications, sub-awards and contracts must be reviewed, finalized and submitted through MaineHealth Institute for Research’s Grants Office and Contracts team.
