Pitch Submission Form
The UM Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development (VCRED) is developing a Pitch Book of UM resource needs.
What resource do you need to move your research, creative scholarship, or other university project or program to the next level and amplify its impact?
Each pitch idea will be routed to your supervisors (e.g. chairs and deans) for vetting. Once your idea is vetted and prioritized, we will create a quad-chart style Pitch Sheet to include in the book. The VCRED will carry the Pitch Book when meeting with potential sponsors. He should be able to give a 2-minute “elevator pitch” based on information in the sheet, and then hand the sheet to the person to take with them.
Each pitch sheet will also include a picture or graphic. Please submit between 1 and 3 attachments for us to consider using as that picture. If you already have a draft quad chart representing your pitch, feel free to upload that as well.
ORSP Research Development may also reach out to see if we can help you search for published funding opportunities that match parts of your idea.
