Grant Support Consultations

Grant Support Consultations

CEE has a process for faculty seeking our support; it’s outlined below:

  1. Click on “Request a faculty consultation.” On the form, under "Consultation Type," select "Grant Support." Complete the rest of the form and provide your availability for an initial consultation.
  2. Send your proposal to Dr. Patricia Turner (pturner@ucdavis.edu) with "NSF CAREER" in the subject line. She will review your proposal. Note: review times are approximately 2-3 business days.
  3. Dr. Turner will arrange an initial consultation with you. She will meet with you and provide feedback on your Education Plan and/or other related components of your proposal. In some cases, she may invite other members of our team to the consultation (and/or connect you post-facto).
  4. After your initial consultation, please make any revisions and send the revised proposal to Dr. Kem Saichaie (kemsaichaie@ucdavis.edu). This will likely lead to a follow-up meeting with Dr. Saichaie to discuss any revisions/updates you make after speaking with Dr. Turner. We will also discuss how/if CEE can support your proposal. Note: review times are approximately 2-3 business days.
