​R​AMP Guides​

Use the self-guided job aids and videos below to get started in RAMP! 

If you prefer to schedule a 1-on-1 RAMP walkthrough meeting with an ORSP staff member, we are happy to help. Email ORSP@uwsp.edu with a few available meeting options, as well as the grant you wish to apply for by providing the website link and/or RFP & Guidelines. 

These walkthroughs generally take 45-60 minutes to create funding proposal, show budget features, and ask questions regarding your particular grant. We are also available to meet on specific questions once RAMP is created.​​
