Along with a funded faculty "mentor," you might want to consider an
administrative person who would work with faculty to create the
"package," the standard forms, the key personnel and biosketch page, the
budget, some of the budget narrative, and the PDF files. That is a
time-consuming portion of the entire process that creative faculty
should not have to do (my opinion only).

We are just starting to do the same thing.  I think Central Michigan
University has such a program and is successful.  Am I right CMU?

Subject: [RESADM-L] Faculty Mentoring Program - Research and Proposal
Development

We are thinking about embarking on a new program for working with the
faculty on research and proposal development.  The idea is to seek
faculty
members who have successful track records of obtaining competitive
funding
to serve as mentors for younger faculty.  These mentors would be
called
"Senior Research Fellows," and would sign on for a 2-year rotation.
Their
duties would be to proactively work with faculty members to develop
their
research ideas, put them to paper, and submit them to competitive
programs.
We would like to know if anyone does something similar, and how much
success
you've had with it.

Thank you.
