The first step in the grant submission process involves the completion of an Intent to Apply form by the Principal Investigator (PI)/Project Director (PD). The form should be signed by the administrative officials listed and submitted to the ORGSP.
Once the grant is complete, the PI/PD must complete an Internal Routing Form for grant submission certifying that the application is within the scope and mission of the college and that the college has adequate resources for the project.
If necessary, approvals from the IRB, IACUC, IBCSC, VP for Finance (matching funds) must also be secured by the PI.
The form is then submitted to the ORGSP for budget review and certification that all ORGSP policies and procedures have been met.
All proposals seeking sponsored funding be submitted to the ORGSP five (5) days before the application deadline. This is to ensure quality review and increased chances of award.
