Building Connections

We keep current and potential corporate and foundation partners connected with university leadership and informed about Brandeis and our distinctive history, priorities and strengths. We also coordinate relationships with key campus partners including the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Heller School for Social Policy and Management, the International Business School, the Rabb School of Professional Studies and independent centers and institutes, as well as Research Administration, Technology Transfer and the Hiatt Career Center.

Proposal and Project Support

We promote faculty grant-seeking from foundations and corporations, working closely with the vice provost for research and the Office of Research Administration by:

identifying potential foundation and corporate support for projects
strategizing approaches to funders
developing proposals to foundations and corporations and
monitoring/circulating foundation requests for proposals (RFPs), including key limited-submission RFPs.
