Narrative Development

Interdisciplinary contacts and exchange opportunities
    Cutting across traditional disciplinary lines, the Jordan Institute is a conduit partnering scholars and researchers from complementary fields. This interdisciplinary approach leads to rich and relevant research and helps ensure that proposals are both distinctive and competitive.
  Expert input
    The Jordan Institute has a bevy of expert contacts able to review proposals before submission. These experts give Investigators insightful and useful feedback to strengthen their proposals and increase the likelihood of funding.
Statistical consultation
    In addition to sponsoring a monthly methodology and research seminar-MARS--the Jordan Institute has veteran statisticians to review and refine the research designs, methods and analyses of proposals. Once a proposal has been funded, the Jordan Institute provides on-going guidance and technical assistance.
  Mock reviews of proposals
    Once a proposal is initially completed, the Jordan Institute can engage researchers to provide a mock review. These seasoned researchers help identify strong points and potential pitfalls, enabling Investigators to refine and strengthen their proposals before submission.
  Match generation
  Many funding sources require in-kind or cash contributions before supporting a grant. The Jordan Institute is able to prospect for and often will deliver such support when needed.
