The PHT180 Grant Review Roundtable assists affiliated faculty through a pre submission critique.

Goals of this process:

  • Increase the quality and scientific rigor of proposal writing
  • Enhance proposal success with external funding agencies.

How often:

  • External grant proposal review forums will be held monthly during the academic year, and by special request in the summer.

For the complete PHT180 Grant Review Roundtable Guidelines please click here.

How it works:

  • One Chairperson will oversee and coordinate the monthly event.  
  • Submitted proposal request will be reviewed and discussed in small group during round table meeting, coordinated by area chairs with appropriate expertise for the topic areas of the proposal
  • Proposal review request must be submitted two weeks ahead of a scheduled round table meeting
