The WashU Research Development Office (RDO) subteam leads the implementation of WashU’s Transcend Initiative Grant program. We collaborate with research professionals across the university to bolster the work of the Transcend teams. Together, we amplify university impact locally and globally by guiding Transcend researchers on team science best practices and by enhancing extramural grant success. 

For research development including team science, strategy, and extramural proposal management or other Transcend programming, contact Susannah Acuff Imhoff (Lead) or Shaweta Singla.
