Proposals for external funds must be submitted to
ORSP 5 business days prior to sponsor deadlines
The ORSP reviews all proposals prepared by faculty and staff to ensure that sponsors' terms and conditions are acceptable to the university and, at the same time, that the work proposed by a faculty or staff member (i.e., principal investigator, or PI) is consistent with university goals, policies, and procedures. You are strongly encouraged to provide the ORSP with your completed proposal at least 5 business days prior to the sponsor's submission deadline.
Doing so allows the ORSP preaward staff adequate time to review your proposal, assist you, if needed, in developing your proposal budget, route your proposal for signature to the authorized institutional representative (i.e., vice provost for research), and, if needed, electronically submit your proposal to the sponsor in a timely manner. Also, staff are available—at your request—to provide basic editing assistance of your proposal.
Note: To receive editing assistance, proposals must be delivered to the ORSP preaward staff at least 5 business days prior to sponsor deadlines.
