Faculty Grants Training & Proposal Development Resources
Research Grants Training
IRES works in connection with the UH System’s Office of Research Services (ORS) under the Office of the Vice President of Research & Innovation to submit and monitor research grants through the UH MyGrants portal.
Getting into the competitive grants space can be daunting. IRES is here to support and guide. Professors and Staff members undertaking research projects are however, strongly advised to use the ORS training websites, as well as the trainings available on the funders websites, such as (but not limited to):
