The office performs the following services:

- organizes and supports the development of grant proposals and budgets;
- facilitates grant writing workshops to assist faculty in developing competitive proposals;
- reviews and approves proposals before submission to ensure compliance with both UTC standards and sponsor requirements;

This website has a great deal of information to help faculty, staff, and administrators identify and explore funding opportunities, understand compliance and regulatory issues, prepare competitive proposals and budgets, and administer grant programs.
