Proposal Review Requirements

OSP requests that every effort is made to submit your proposal to our office no less than 5 business days prior to the agency deadline. This allows OSP to review the proposal thoroughly and identify problems that need to be addressed, as well as allow you ample time to finalize the proposal.

All proposals must be routed through OSP for review and approval prior to submitting to the sponsor to ensure compliance with University, Federal, State and Sponsor policies and procedures. Pre-proposals which require the signature of an authorized official or cost share must also be routed through OSP. The routing process is not completed until the authorized official in OSP has signed the proposal.

Submissions made prior to approval from OSP are not officially approved and may be administratively withdrawn if the submission is found to be non-compliant with university or agency requirements. If you have submitted a proposal without OSP review, please notify us immediately so we can work with you to route your proposal for the necessary approvals.
