We provide editorial and administrative support with the primary aim of increasing funded research in the College of Engineering. Formerly known as the Proposal Support Team, we are now the Research Impact and Outreach (RIO) Team in the college’s Office of Research Innovation. With expertise in copy editing, science writing, creative marketing, graphic design, scientific illustration, and project management, our team works collaboratively with PIs and their departments to develop timely, cohesive, and compelling research proposals and outreach materials. To help your research more effectively connect with people—proposal reviewers, industry, the public, and other stakeholders—collaborate with us!
The production of non-proposal graphics and other creative content requires cost recovery and will be charged to a fund number (provided by you). Cost recovery for Journal Cover Art, new Research Results Figures, and Informational Graphics require a flat fee, published below. All other projects will require a scoping meeting to determine the cost of the project.
