Intensive Cohorts

Paired with a team of NORDP Consultants, partnering institutions complete a 3-phase process to build and implement strategic and sustainable plans that grow institutional capacity for research.

Our Cohorts

Embedded Proposal Support

A funding agency soliciting applications from MSIs and ERIs embeds the NORDP Consultants Program in the application process to provide coaching and proposal development services to support the submission of competitive proposals.

Proposal Support

Partner-Initiated Proposals

An MSI or ERI may collaborate with the NORDP Consultants Program to submit an external application that would support NORDP Consultants’ engagement. If awarded, the institution is then paired with NORDP Consultants and/or mentors to conduct strategic planning and implement the desired research development activities.
