Research Resources
The UC Davis Office of Research has an in-depth faculty toolkit that provides information for all stages of the research pipeline including: finding funding, preparing proposals, how to handle intellectual property and award processing.
Cayuse SP
All new research proposals must be submitted using Cayuse SP.
Cayuse SP is designed to manage research operations and provide a framework to track and report on sponsored program activities. It manages the life cycle of sponsored projects with Cayuse SP, a flexible, user-friendly Web application designed to reduce complexity, improve collaboration, and provide visibility from pre-award through post-award.

Grantsmanship Learning Lab
By Proposal Development Services at Office of Research
We know that there is so much that goes into submitting a grant, so Proposal Development Services has designed a Canvas-based (requires login), self-paced learning lab to help with the "hidden curriculum" that goes into preparing a winning proposal. Through the learning lab, you can learn more about grant readiness, developing a pitch, creating effective graphics, proposal layout, specific proposal components, and more!
