Grant Submission Process


Form Preparation

From the smallest grant to the largest, some variety of forms must be completed. In most cases, these forms contain budget information, principal investigator/project director information, institutional information, project information and an institutional endorsement. The ORSP proposal preparation managers are intimately familiar with information that is needed to complete the necessary forms for submission and acceptance of a proposal. The ORSP has proposal aid information http://www.ohio.edu/orsp/budget/misc.html which provides budget templates and institutional information. The ORSP managers are available to assist you with electronic submissions and may need to set up the PI/PD with access to a particular system. Please contact your designated ORSP manager in advance of an electronic deadline as registration with a system may be necessary.


TIP: Many electronic submission systems require OHIO to pre-register before a proposal can be accepted into their system. Please consult your assigned pre-award manager to obtain access and assistance with using the specific system. In many cases Ohio University is already registered and the application must be submitted on the PI/PD's behalf by the Assistant Vice Presdient for Research

In many cases, program guidelines or a request for proposal offer instruction and definition of terms that will assist in the completion of the forms. When there is clarification needed, the ORSP managers can provide guidance and assistance. Some common institutional identifiers used on forms can be found at: http://www.ohio.edu/orsp/orsp_identifiers.html or in the FAQ section of this guide. With the assistance of ORSP, you've now completed a budget, your proposal and any applicable sponsor forms. While the final step before your proposal is submitted through the mail or electronically is the completion of the routing of Ohio University 's internal Transmittal Form, in many cases the form, budget and budget justification may be routed for approval well before the submission deadline.
