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

Are you seeking a grant opportunity? Please fill out this form to best of your ability. Don't be scared off when you open it - the form is not as long as it first appears!

To get assigned an RA for the first time, we need the information in the form. 

Upon receipt of the form, we will assign an RA to review the proposal submission requirements, keep track of the different required components of the application, and assist you with the development of your project budget. 

Once you have an assigned RA, they will handle all your proposals, along with helping to manage all of your awards, all the way through close-out.

If you need help, please contact: share_research@berkeley.edu.

Reminder: please submit your proposal request form at least 10 business days before 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 submitting the web form, please contact share_research@berkeley.edu.
