Essential full spectrum grant support | Giving researchers a competitive edge
Research Acceleration and Strategic Initiatives (RASI) has a two-part interrelated mandate:
Research Acceleration – Providing a full suite of strategic and practical supports across the application cycle to position researchers and research groups for success in individual, collaborative and institutional grants.
Strategic Initiatives – Leading and implementing strategic institutional initiatives to support research career development for both faculty and undergraduate students: Research grant support (pre- and post-award); Large-scale and institutional grant facilitation and management; Undergraduate research; Partner engagement and research cluster development.
All USask researchers connect with RASI at some point in their research journey. Here are some common questions:
- Who is my Research Support Specialist?
- I need help with UnivRS
- I have a budget question
- Are there upcoming info sessions??
- I have a collaborative large-scale grant
- I need Indigenous Research support
- Can someone review my grant?
- What are the upcoming grant deadlines?
- I want undergraduate research help
