UM Proposal Bank

Several UM faculty members have graciously agreed to let ORSP share the narratives of their funded (or in some cases declined) proposals with their fellow UM faculty. Unless otherwise indicate, these proposal documents are for UM use only, and should not be shared outside of the university. You may not copy original ideas, sentences, or phrases from these proposals. These documents are available in Box to anyone with a UM WebId credential.

In some cases, proposers have agreed to share early drafts (and reviews of those drafts) of their proposals, sponsor reviewer comments, and scores.

If you find these documents helpful, please express your gratitude to the PIs or Project Directors who shared them, and consider “paying it forward” by sharing your past and future funded proposals and reviewer comments with your UM colleagues, through this site or otherwise. Contact orspresdev@olemiss.edu from an @olemiss.edu email address to add a proposal to the bank, if corrections need to be made to page content or links, or if you are unable to access the linked Box folders. If you are a UM faculty whose proposal is listed here, and you wish for us to remove it, please let us know.
