Proposals: Getting Started
Grant Application Review and Approval

 

INFORMATION FROM GRANTS ADMINISTRATION REGARDING PROPOSAL ROUTING, REVIEW AND SUBMISSION

Effective immediately, Grants Administration will require the complete, signed proposal route form for review. Proposal route forms without all required signatures (PI, Chair, Co-Investigators) will not be accepted and review of the proposal cannot begin until a complete, signed route form is received.
The route form submitted to Grants Administration must be the original version, scanned or faxed versions are not acceptable.  Due to audit regulations the original signatures must be kept on file with the proposal, once electronic routing via InfoEd is fully implemented the need for the original route form will not be necessary.  We hope to have electronic routing in place in early 2009 and appreciate your patience during this transition time.
Please remember that the Office of Research requires a minimum of five working days after departmental approval for institutional approval. The five day lead-time is essential for a thorough review and timely submission. We will make every effort to process proposals received after the five day deadline, but we cannot guarantee a sufficient review and timely proposal submission. Final proposals (including the original route form with all signatures) must be received in the Office of Research by noon 5 days prior to the sponsor deadline.

 

All applications for extramural funding must be approved by the Office of Research (OR) prior to submission. The Proposal Review and Certification Form is used for this purpose. Listed below are the requirements for institutional approval.

 

Institutional Requirements

  1. The Principal Investigator completes the Proposal Review and Certification Form, including all required signatures. The form also requires information about human and/or animal use and identification of topics applicable to the research for entry into the grants database.
  2. The departmental chairman reviews the application for scientific content, personnel, and space requirements.  
  3. The application is then reviewed budgetairly and administratively in OR and signed by the Institutional Official or delegate.

A minimum of five working days after departmental approval is required for institutional approval. Post-award grant management is handled by the Controller’s Office, which provides monthly statements of accounts for each funded project.
