At this point in the grants process, you will have learned whether your application to an external sponsor has been successful. For PI/PD's who have had a proposal rejected by a sponsor, please take the time to carefully dissect reviewer comments, when provided and revise your proposal and resubmit at the appropriate time . It is important to note that very few PI/PD's are successful on their first attempt. Please continue to diligently rework your proposal, as resubmissions often result in an awarded proposal.

The ORSP Post-Award managers administer a collection of services made available to faculty and staff at Ohio University . Administration services cover all activities associated wi th an award from the point of negotiation and acceptance of terms and conditions to the close out of a project. Financial activities during and after a project are managed by the Vice President for Finance and Administration Grant and Contract Accounting Office (GCA).

In general, the process by which an award is accepted and an account is established is the following:

1. Award document is rec eived
2. Negotiation Starts (when necessary)
3. Account set up by ORSP
4. Account established by GCA
5. Award Letter sent
6. Research Begins!

DON'T FORGET: Should your proposal not be selected for funding, it is important to note that very few PI/PD's are successful on their first attempt. Please continue to diligently rework your proposal, as resubmissions often result in an awarded proposal.
