In addition to supporting busy researchers and investigators, the GMO also coordinates and assists in developing proposals for community programs and initiatives by: identifying grant opportunities, streamlining the proposal process, providing resources/expertise to effectively prepare proposals, and providing guidance in managing grant funds and complying with grantor requirements. For 2009, GMO submitted 21 research proposals and community grants for a total of $21,824,943. Out of that: $ 8,185,365 was awarded in community grants, $5,924,595 is pending, and $ 7,714,983 was not awarded.
