Announcing the NEW CARAT Pre-Award Process Map

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 14:27:43 -0500

CARAT is excited to share the launch of our new Pre-Award Process Map — a clear, step-by-step guide designed to make the proposal development and submission process simpler, more coordinated, and more efficient for CAHSS faculty and collaborators.

(Kudos to the CARAT Pre-Award Working Group for their efforts!)

This resource provides a high-level overview of pre-award pathways and clarifies key touchpoints, timelines, and areas of support along the way. It's meant to serve as a practical reference as you plan upcoming proposals and coordinate with CARAT during the process.

Explore the full map here:

And stay tuned for programming and other information related to this resources!

If you have already identified a funding opportunity and would like to begin an application, please complete a proposal development form on the Pre-Award Services page to request pre-award support.

You can also email us directly with any questions you have about the Pre-Award Map or CARAT's services.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
