Pre-Award Support
Helping You Secure Research Funding, Step by Step
At MORI, we know that securing research funding can be a complex process. That’s why our Pre-Award Services are designed to guide and support you at every stage—from refining your research idea to submitting a strong, competitive proposal.
We work closely with faculty, students, and research teams to help identify funding opportunities, develop proposals, and ensure compliance with both funding agency requirements and UWI policies.
Our goal is to make the application process as smooth and successful as possible, so you can focus on what matters—your research.

Every great research project begins with a strong foundation. Before applying for funding, MORI offers one-on-one consultations to help you assess the viability of your idea, identify potential funding opportunities, and refine your approach.
During this stage, we work with you to align your research with funding priorities, ensuring that your proposal has a clear and compelling focus. By collaborating early in the process, we set the groundwork for a well-structured and competitive application

We’ll work with you to craft a clear, well-structured proposal that strengthens your chances of getting funded.
Internal Reviews and Approvals
Internal Reviews and Approvals
To ensure that all proposals meet institutional and funding agency standards, MORI coordinates an internal review process. We work with faculty members, department heads, and deans to secure approvals and gather feedback that strengthens your submission. This process ensures that your proposal is well-positioned for success before it is officially submitted.

Our team ensures that all deadlines are met and that every component of the application package is properly formatted, reviewed, and submitted in a timely manner. We take care of the logistical details so you can focus on your research.
Post-Submission Follow-Up

Our support doesn’t stop once your proposal is submitted. MORI follows up with the funding agency to confirm receipt and track the review process.
