Proposal Checklists
Here is a checklist to use when you’re preparing your grant proposal:
Grant Proposal Submission
Post-award Phase
Discuss project concept and activities
with your department chair or next immediate supervisor, and with Grants
Office staff.
Contact the funding agency for a
copy of guidelines and a funded proposal (or, if available, download)
and to ensure that your project is appropriate (85 percent of funded proposals
are written by people who contacted the funding agency).
Pay particular attention to the
methodology and budget sections of your proposal.
Determine whether or not your project
will require matching University contributions, and identify sources of
matching funds.
Contact the Office of Grants and
Faculty Development to determine strategies for meeting deadlines and
to discuss compliance issues (i.e., animal care, human subjects, etc.).
Submit your budget to the Office
of Grants and Faculty Development as soon as possible.
To obtain an Internal Review Form
(IRF), click here.
The completed form, with your proposal attached, must reach the Office
of Grants and Faculty Development not less than five working days prior
to the mailing deadline (both grant proposals and contracts require an
IRF).
Circulate an IRF for signatures of
the project director, department chair or director, and dean. Then attach
the signed form to your final proposal before submitting to the Office
of Grants and Faculty Development.
The Office of Grants and Faculty
Development will circulate your IRF and final proposal for additional
approvals. Allow five working days for processing to ensure adequate time
for identifying problems with your proposal and to ensure meeting your
sponsor's deadline.
Coordinate with the Office of Grants
and Faculty Development for copying and mailing applications.
As soon as you receive an award letter from a funding agency, contact the Office of Grants and Faculty Development, and provide the original award letter.
For legal reasons, let the Office
of Grants and Faculty Development publicize your award notice in The
Bulletin.
Please do not submit your own announcement.
The Office of Grants and Faculty
Development will schedule a start-up meeting to discuss fiscal procedures.
It is your responsibility to keep track of the budget.
Arrange for submission of Personnel
Transfer Forms to initiate additional pay, if applicable.
At the end of the project period,
submit a copy of your written report of results to the Office of Grants
and Faculty Development, including plans for continuation of the research
and probable future sponsorship.
