Proposal Development Team
The UT Knoxville Office of Research has assembled a Proposal Development Team (PDT) to assist researchers in managing the development of large and complex funding proposals.
The goal of this team is to increase proposal success rates and the number of major awards by providing centralized support to the research community.
