Tasha primarily provides support to faculty in the discovery, development and submission of research grant applications. This involves such details as organizing meetings, literature searching and reviews, compiling and formatting faculty CV’s, budget preparation for grants and the completion of necessary forms and last but certainly not least final editing and making sure that all the pieces are properly coordinated to get to where they need to be on time. Here's a more detailed breakdown of what Tasha does for a Grant:

1. Search out opportunities
2. Review guidelines and prepare work details/task list of tasks to achieve and deadlines of when to do it
3. Do literature searches to update literature/background sections
