We have developed tools to help faculty and administrators work with the DOD successfully, including templates to:
- Connect with research collaborators/funders in the DOD and national security ecosystem to develop new research projects.
- Develop and submit successful research project proposals to the DOD.
- Manage awarded projects with best practices including common questions that arise such as no cost extensions and close out reporting.
To view these resources, please visit the TEXAS Research Resource Library and select "Defense Research Development" or "Department of Defense (DOD)" from the Category/Topic menu.
