Writing a Better Statement of Work: From Proposal to Project

This session from ASU’s Advanced Capabilities for National Security Institute (ACNSI) will cover how SOWs are used after an award is made, with practical tips for defining work, deliverables and expectations clearly at the proposal stage.

Especially useful for faculty and research development staff who are developing collaborative or complex proposals, or anyone who has wondered how much detail a SOW really needs.
