— Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research — Funding — Grant Editing

Grant Editing

We offer expert review and editing of research proposals to strengthen applications and maximize funding success.

The grant editing team provides UNMC faculty members with editorial support by reviewing and editing near-final drafts of grants and manuscripts. Faculty with joint appointments at UNMC and Veterans Affairs may also be eligible.

Editorial Services

Our team has contributed to successful NIH (including many R01 proposals), Department of Defense, Nebraska State legislature, and many other grant awards, and to publications in high-impact journals. Faculty across the various schools and disciplines at UNMC have benefited from our work, including authors at all career stages, levels of writing experience, and language or cultural backgrounds.

Editing can include light editing, such as proof-reading and copy editing, or deeper editing for appropriate and effective language, style and document structure. Formatting to agency guidelines is also possible if two days are added to the request time.

Request editorial assistance through our request form. Please, fill out the form completely, including the cost center number for billing and upload your document into the request form.

Pricing

The current cost of editing is $32 per hour for manuscripts and other projects. The Vice Chancellor for Research Office subsidizes grants editing at 59.4%, for a cost of $12.99 per hour to the investigator. Incoming grants take priority over other editing projects, even if submitted earlier, so be aware that manuscripts may require additional time. We require a minimum of seven days for return to the author, so be sure to allow enough time prior to deadlines.
