Engineering Research Office

The Engineering Research Office (ERO) of the College of Engineering provides proposal development and project management support for research faculty. Our streamlined process allows faculty to have a single point of contact within the college for all sponsored research initiatives.

The ERO offers support and services to faculty to locate funding opportunities, facilitate proposal development (single and multi-PI proposals), utilize editing and graphic services, develop a budget, access project management support (for large or complex projects), connect to business and industry initiatives and link to other faculty resources. Our goal is to reduce the administrative burden on the Principal Investigator so faculty may focus on the science of each research project.

The ERO team coordinates directly with the UNR Sponsored Projects office to streamline and expedite services regarding pre-award services, post-award services, and grants and contracts processing. Have questions or need addition information? Please direct all inquires to ERO@unr.edu for assistance.
