Faculty Research and Editorial Support (FRES)
Administration and Finance
Welcome to the RBS Faculty Research and Editorial Support (FRES). This office, managed by Dr. Lynn Agre, oversees a range of services to faculty and staff seeking funding from public and private not-for-profit sponsors as well as internal funding. FRES staff assist faculty and departmental staff in navigating through the proposal submission in RAPSS and post-award support. We’re here to help prepare proposals based on sponsor guidelines and application instructions and assist in budget development. Editorial support or supplemental editorial services are available to academic journal editors located in RBS.
