The RDFP is ideal for faculty intending to submit proposals to federal funding programs, including the Department of Defense Young Investigator Program, National Institutes of Health exploratory/developmental research grant awards, National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program and U.S. Department of Agriculture and Food Research Initiative.
