We work with investigators and scholars to catalyze innovation and discovery. We provide support for transdisciplinary collaborations, opportunity identification, team formation and proposal development. Our team is committed to the success of faculty and student research initiatives and increasing the College’s research capacity and competitiveness.
Team
Our research development team is committed to helping CASE researchers. We specialize in proposal development, identification of relevant funding sources, training, and linking researchers to resources.
Proposal Development
Each of our team members has an area of focus:
Rita Teutonico, PhD, leads the Research Development Office and directs all areas of expertise provided by the office. Dr. Teutonico has a PhD in molecular biology and quantitative genetics and spent 10 years as Science Advisor at the National Science Foundation leading cross-Foundation initiatives, particularly those focused on sustainability science and the integration of the social and natural sciences.
Maria Pulido-Velosa assists in the development of multi-investigator proposals led by Institute of Water and Environment researchers and collaborative proposals involving the Institute of Environment and other research institutes or centers.
Juan J. Lopez helps individual investigators develop proposals for high-impact programs and research foundations, as well as interpret reviews for resubmissions. He assists in identifying funding sources and serves as the CASE contact for limited submissions.
