Pre-Award

The ​Pre-Award team is responsible for:

• Identifying and disseminating funding opportunities
• Supporting the development of budgets and non-technical proposal elements
• Supporting applications where KAUST is an unfunded collaborator
• Providing budget estimates
• Ensuring proposals adhere to sponsor and KAUST requirements and standards
• Managing the internal approval process ensuring compliance before submission (all proposals; funded and unfunded, internal and external)
• Facilitating award receipt, negotiation and acceptance of sponsored research awards

The Pre-Award team works closely with colleagues in the 'Awards and Contracts' and 'Post-Award' teams to ensure relevant project details are considered and captured when developing proposals and budgets prior to submission.
