17 How we can support you We maintain access to a growing network of grantmaking organizations and individual supporters (including 41,000 alumni) of the School. The department’s relationship management includes a tracked understanding of historic relationships with the Business School and the broader University.
We research and identify suitable funding prospects and support all stages of the application process. This includes:
Development of the application strategy including focus areas and request amount;
Development and submission of letters of inquiry and proposals;
Facilitation of meetings and conversations with prospective funders; and
Administrative support to close, process, and steward gift and grant agreements.
We engage alumni ambassadors and business leaders who are familiar with the internal workings of various funding agencies/grantmaking organizations, which may help raise the visibility of your proposal request.
We are actively engaging nearly 200 corporate sponsors at a given time who are interested in partnering with Business School faculty on research and seeking meaningful connections with research and activities. We are constantly seeking fits for these inquiries and interest areas with the work of our faculty.<br>

18 Dissemination of funding opportunities We research funding opportunities and circulate them via:
-A monthly research newsletter developed and disseminated by Dimitra Koutsantoni.
-Targeted outreach to faculty about specific opportunities as they arise.
We organize external funding information sessions every fall semester; and
We conduct prospect research for specific projects upon request.<br>

19 Research grant application procedure Research grant applications are processed through Dimitra Koutsantoni, who also serves as the Business School liaison to the University’s Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA).
Dimitra, in coordination with SPA, ensures that all applications go through internal authorization procedures and comply with the University’s and funders’ policies and guidelines.
All applications to federal agencies and all full proposal grant submissions to private foundations and other organizations are required to go through the Dean’s Office and SPA.
Proposals for unrestricted gifts are not included in this mandatory process.<br>
