Principal Investigator Early Request (PIER)
o streamline the research development process, the CONHS is implementing the Principal Investigator Early Request (PIER) process. PIER was designed to enhance support for faculty who wish to develop a proposal for external funding to support their research and/or community engagement.
When you have a prospective research topic or project, log on to the PIER page, complete the simple Qualtrics survey that includes your contact information, a few sentences about your prospective research project, and the type of support that you may need (funding source, editing, interdisciplinary partner, budget preparation, etc.). Your PIER will then be routed to the CONHS Dean, Associate Dean, and Senior Research Development Officer who will arrange to meet with you to discuss your project and provide you with ongoing support and resources necessary to achieve your research goals.
