SHARE Research Administration

Here is how SHARE supports the Berkeley Research Grant Life Cycle(link is external)(above):

• Grant Proposal Support:  SHARE Research Administrators work with faculty investigators to develop their grant applications, establish proposal submission timelines, develop proposal budgets, and keep track of the different administrative requirements needed to get grant applications approved by campus to submit to prospective grant sponsors.
• Grant Negotiation Support: after faculty investigators are notified about newly awarded grant funding, we support the investigators during the contract negotiation process to get the grant agreement established between the funding sponsor and the UC Berkeley campus.
• Financial Reporting and Grant Closeout: After grant funding is established, we maintain fiscal oversight for the sponsored project funding and provide monthly financial reports on the balances across the grant-funded projects. We also assist with the financial closing of grants as they approach the expiration date of the funded projects.

Proposal Request Form

Please submit a request for proposal development a minimum of 10 days prior to the sponsor's deadline using the link above. The minimum of 10 business days provides sufficient time to assemble, organize, and route your application for internal, department-level approvals and Sponsored Projects Office (SPO) review. More time may be needed if you plan to work with collaborating partners that are external to UC Berkeley.

SPO is required to review and submit all UC Berkeley research proposals, regardless of sponsor. The proposal must also have the approval of the hosting unit. 

If a Research Administrator has not contacted you within 48 hours of submitted the form, please contact share_research@berkeley.edu. 

Upon receipt of a your request for proposal support, we will review the submission requirements, keep track of the different required components of the application, and assist you with the development of your project budget.
