OVPR proposal coordinators assist faculty in the development of high-value, high-complexity proposals that often represent a multi-departmental or inter-institutional collaboration and, most of the time, have a budget of more than $1 million. If you have questions as to how a proposal coordinator might help your proposal, or would like to request the services of an OVPR-funded proposal coordinator, please contact Sally Bond at sbond@purdue.edu.
