PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING GRANT APPLICATIONS 


All research projects involving grant applications and research agreements must be reviewed and approved by the Office of the Vice-chancellor of Academic Affairs (and other parties as appropriate) prior to submission to, and/or finalization with, the funding agency/sponsor. The Office of Grants & Contracts (OGC) manages this review and approval process. The requirements and procedures for submission and routing of grant applications is described below; those for research agreements are described here.
 

A. Submission of “Routing Packets” for Review and Approval

Routing Packets now are created in the Kuali Research (KR) electronic system and are referred to as “Proposals.” Detailed instructions for creating and submitting initial and follow-up proposals in Kuali are provided in the Kuali Quickguides listed in the Resources section below.

       PLEASE NOTE:

  • Proposals must be submitted at least 10 working days in advance of an application deadline.
     
  • All "special conditions" noted in Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs), such as limitations on the number of proposals accepted from a single institution, must be presented and discussed with OGC prior to application submission.
     
  • Proposals will be reviewed and approved on a first-come, first-served basis.
