The Office of Research and Doctoral Programs is here to support Fox and STHM faculty, staff and doctoral students. Learn more about how the Office can help you find funding sources, prepare and submit proposals, and administer research grants.
Academic and Research Copy Editing Services
The Fox School of Business offers the services of an in-house editor to provide Fox and STHM doctoral students and faculty with proofreading, line editing and feedback for their academic and research writing, such as scholarly articles, dissertations, conference papers and other peer reviewed written materials. The academic editor is also available for one-on-one coaching with a focus on improving academic writing skills, and offers periodic workshops on writing topics for PhD students during the Fall and Spring semesters.
Doctoral students (PhD and DBA) and faculty can submit requests for editing assistance using the following steps:
| 1) Schedule. | 2) Submit. | 3) Wait for Review. |
|---|---|---|
| When you are ready to submit a request, visit the scheduling page and select the date you would like to schedule your submission. Note: Your paper will be returned within four business days of that scheduled submission, so plan accordingly. | You will receive an email the day your submission is scheduled reminding you to submit the paper. When you are ready to submit your paper, please use the submission portal. | After submission, the academic editor will have up to four business days to review your paper. We require at least four days after submission for the editor to provide thorough feedback. |

Grant Writing Support Services
Grant writing is a necessity for many Fox and STHM doctoral students and faculty in order to find new funding sources and build research networks. The Office of Research can help guide your research grant writing from proposal to budget preparation.

First, upload your paper to the Social Science Research Network (SSRN). Why?
