Return to Grant Applications  |  Start a Grant Application

Here's how to start:

  1. Discuss your project with your Supervisor and Administrative Research Director.
  2. Contact grants@ochsner.org to request grant writer/proposal development support. The sooner the better! (More info below.)
  3. Complete an Application Initiation Form (AIF) by the due date indicated in Table 1.
    • Due ≥ 30–90 days before the sponsor deadline, depending on the application complexity.
    • If a pre-application/Letter of Intent (LO) is required and will include an approximate request amount, submit the AIF ≥30 days before the LOI due date.
    • The PI may delegate the AIF completion to a CRC but is ultimately responsible for the accuracy of information.
    • Grant writer/grant development assistance can be requested via this form—or earlier!
  4. Follow additional steps provided by the grants team. See Table 2 for a general timeline.
