Why the University of Cincinnati Office of Research is Partnering with Hanover Research
“We are highly satisfied with our relationships with the Hanover Research team and the resources they provide. For an investment of around that of which a new Ford F-150 costs, our faculty have teamed to successfully write and submit 8-10 major proposals that altogether total around $8m! Had it not been for the strategy we devised & executed with Hanover, it is highly likely that the majority of these complex proposals would not have been submitted at all, much less reviewed and edited prior to their submission. We are all very satisfied with this outcome.”
– Jennifer Krivickas, Associate Vice President for Research: Strategic Initiatives & Signature Programs
