Question 3 of 4
How is your research team structured?
Team size and cross-institutional complexity are major factors in how much coordination support a proposal requires.
👤
Single PI, single institution
Just me, or collaborators at KUMC or KU-Lawrence with no formal subawards
👥
Multiple PIs, same institution
MPI arrangement or co-investigators, all within the KU system
🌐
Multi-institutional (subawards or consortium)
Partner institutions, subcontracts, or consortium members outside the KU system

Question 4 of 4
How much lead time do you have before your deadline?
Earlier engagement means more we can do. This is one of the most important factors in determining the scope of support available.
🟢
More than 8 weeks
Plenty of time to plan, develop, and iterate on all components
🟡
4 to 8 weeks
Workable with focused effort, but we will need to prioritize scope
🔴
Fewer than 4 weeks
Very tight — RD support will be limited and targeted
