Working alongside the Research Development Services team, Hanover Research is a key OVPR partner, providing additional capacity for proposal review, consulting, and project management support for investigators at UConn/UConn Health.

Hanover’s team of grant consultants provide a unique and valuable perspective on the grantseeking process. They are usually not content experts in your area of specialty (that’s what you as the faculty member bring to the table). Instead, they are experts in a variety of federal funders and funding mechanisms, and provide feedback on proposal alignment and competitiveness as well as assistance with general grantsmanship skills.

Upon request and pending availability, the OVPR is pleased to allow faculty grantseekers access to Hanover’s core services, including:

• Proposal Review (takes approx. 2 weeks). Hanover will review your project narrative for alignment with the funding opportunity announcement, make specific recommendations using margin comments, produce a memo outlining high-level recommendations, and debrief via teleconference.
• Proposal Revision (takes approx. 3 weeks). Includes all aspects of Proposal Review, above, as well as editing using track changes to suggest revision to the proposal narrative, and to focus on achieving clarity and effective use of language, including punctuation and grammar.

Please submit a service request form to discuss the availability of these services. Please inquire well in advance of submission deadlines to ensure that adequate time remains to schedule your project.
