A. Purpose. The purpose of this policy is to ensure the orderly administration of sponsored project proposals and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The policy contains the procedure applicable to sponsored project proposals.
B. Scope. This policy applies to anyone submitting sponsored project proposals that would be awarded to the university if funded.
C. Definitions
C-1. Principal Investigator. The person taking primary responsibility and oversight of a sponsored project is known as the Principal Investigator (PI). Before submitting a proposal or accepting an award the PI should review the Roles and Responsibilities Page for an understanding of the responsibilities associated with being a PI. (See APM 45.22 for University eligibility requirements for Principal Investigators.)
C-2. Grant Administrator (GA). Each unit has a person designated as a grant administrator, that may also work with the PI on proposal preparation. In particular, a GA often assists PIs with the preparation of salary and fringe benefit calculations and determining budget estimates.
D. Policy. A sponsored project proposal is a written presentation of the research, scholarly or creative activity proposed to be accomplished during a given time period and that is being requested to be funded by an entity external to the 幸运快三 (the sponsor). At a minimum, a proposal should include an outline of the scope of work to be performed or the tasks to be accomplished, and a budget breakdown explaining how the requested funding will be spent towards accomplishing the scope of work. The Director of the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP), or their designated representative, is the only person authorized to accept external funding on behalf of the University and is also the final approver prior to submission of the proposal to the sponsor.
