UF IT Provides Proposal Support for Researchers
UF IT is committed to doing everything possible to enable the research community. In addition to providing high performance computing consulting, UF IT staff can help make your sponsored funding proposals more competitive with letters and templates related to the computing and infrastructure needs of your project. There are four components that UF IT’s Research Computing staff can assist with as follows:
- The budget form showing the cost of computing services or hardware acquisition.
- Some funding agencies require a commitment letter from Research Computing. We will be happy to write a letter for your specific project.
- A description of the facilities in support of your project is available to include in the proposal’s facilities section.
- An explicit data management plan (DMP) is required by most funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Research Computing staff are happy to assist you in developing a DMP and its associated budget.
The Research Computing website also has examples of justification text for Hardware Acquisition and Consulting Services. All of the templates and sample text mentioned above are available on the Proposal Support webpage.
Please contact Research Computing Director Erik Deumens if you need assistance with your proposal’s computing infrastructure documentation.
