Initial Consultation
Initial Contact
To begin a project, clients/partners/PIs should:
1. First, email the SD2C at sd2c@cores.utah.edu
2. Next, fill out the SD2C Project Request Form via Google Forms.
Note: Make sure to be as detailed as possible when filling out the SD2C Project Google Form. This gives SD2C the necessary information (scope, budget, timeline) for a proper quote.
3. The SD2C Director will contact you to discuss possible options and schedule a meeting.

This meeting will include discussions about:
1. Project Objective - overall goal of the project

4. Project Budget - both secured and unsecured funds for the project
5. Project Timeline - amount to time dedicated to working on the project
