Positioning for Success

Turning Reviewer Feedback into Strategy for Large-Scale Proposals

Positioning for Success

Strategic guidance for interdisciplinary, center-scale research teams

Successful large-scale proposals require more than strong individual projects. They need a compelling shared vision, meaningful integration across research thrusts, clear measures of success, and a persuasive case for transformative impact.

This training draws on recurring themes in sponsor reviewer feedback to identify common proposal roadblocks and show how teams can address them strategically, from early positioning through proposal development.
