Writing a Grant?
Should you wish to write a grant there are many resources available. A good starting point is to consult with the Vice Chair of Research. The university also provides numerous resources. A group called the Program Development Office (PDO) is a "support unit focused on the pre-award stage of extramural funding searches, assist in preparation of competitive proposals by reviewing and critiquing proposal drafts, providing descriptive materials on UK resources, and writing sections of proposals . . .". The PDO is currently headed by Kathy Grzech.
While the PDO can help you find a funding source you can apply to and help you write the grant, you will need to consult with a different group to help put together the parts of an actual grant and get it submitted. This group, called Sponsored Research Administration Service (SRAS) can help you put together a budget and get the necessary approval before submtting the grant. It's very important to work with this group as you put your grant together. Contact them at sras@uky.edu. The Grant Proposal specialist in SRAs currently appointed to help faculty in Radiology is Whittney Sherman.
