RESEARCH IMPACT AND OUTREACH

Two branches of research proposal support–editorial and administrative–work collaboratively with engineering PIs and their departmental RAs to prepare, develop, and submit compelling and competitive research proposals, from early career to large, interdisciplinary efforts. Proposal support includes graphics, editing, formatting, broader impacts consulting, and proposal preparation management.

Beyond proposal support, the editorial team, or science-driven creative marketing team, creates original 3D artwork for journal covers as well as supports research-related industrial, federal, and community outreach efforts with graphics, logos, branding, presentations, websites, outreach materials, and more.
