Article Ideas for The RAP/RAPid
How can I submit content for consideration?
For general news, events, or sponsor updates, please send to for consideration. Routine updates will be considered for placement in The RAP (now published monthly) or via a RAPid announcement.
Will you include our suggested content?
Not every news item is shared, but we will review it based on our audience's interests and information needs.
What is your deadline?
We prefer 2-4 weeks notice. Contact orsp-sponsored-programs-communications@umich.edu. We can accomodate some urgent requests with The RAPid (Research Administration Post - Immediate Dispatch) to publish "just-in-time" information.
Content and character limits?
Content: About 50-70 words, 2-3 sentences, a recommended image, a link to learn more, and a contact for questions.
