Office of Grant Development

The mission of the Office of Grant Development at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center is to provide pre-award grant development, writing, and submission support to cancer center members. These projects must be cancer focused. We highly encourage team science projects, and projects that are intra-programmatic and have multiple principal investigators.

Cancer researcher support includes:

• Individual, collaborative, and multi-PI grant preparation and development, editing, and review
• Developing and preparing grant budgets
• Navigating the online grant submission process and coordinating submission with sponsored research
• Grant applications to all federal, state, and private agencies for any cancer-related mechanism
• Reviewing summary statements and providing guidance for grant resubmissions
• Identifying funding opportunities, investigator outreach, and program announcement interpretation

To ensure adequate time for review, please submit draft material:

• At least four weeks prior to the submission deadline for grant editing
• At least six weeks before the deadline for grant development and review
• At least eight weeks before the deadline for a comprehensive grant application including grant and budget development and submission to sponsored research
• At least twelve weeks before the deadline for a multicomponent grant application such as programmatic grants (P series) or consortium grants (U series)

Projects will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. The cancer center will not handle grants after the award. Post-award management is supported by the Principal Investigator's home department.
