Proposal Development Support Services for Graduate Students

The Graduate School and Vice President for Research are pleased to announce the launch of proposal development support services for graduate student external fellowship and grant applications. Proposal managers are available to consult with graduate students about fellowship/grant opportunities, help shape competitive proposals, and provide review and editing of proposal drafts. In the future we also expect to offer several types of asynchronous training resources. Interested graduate students are invited to submit a request for support here.  Please reach out directly with any questions (proposals@umd.edu).

We would also like to point you to three resources to help graduate students identify fellowship/grant opportunities.

• The UMD Graduate School fellowships database, updated regularly with new opportunities
• A list of graduate student fellowship opportunities curated by the UMD National Scholarships Office
• The SPINPlus funding search database, in which students can customize searches by discipline, funding type, and student level of study, among others
