Electronic Submissions

Prior to submitting a proposal to a sponsor using an electronic submission system, it is still required to have the proposal reviewed and approved by the University. Typically there are four levels of approval needed; PI, Department Chair or Center Director, Dean, and DSR.

The business process for on campus approvals and routing of electronic proposals is the same as for hard-copy proposals. Each proposer must:

  1. Prepare his or her application in the format required by the agency system. Print a copy for campus approvals and routing.
  2. Route the application and necessary additional documents (e.g. RFP, F&A information) through the Department and ISP using a DSR-1 form.
  3. Wait for institutional approval before submitting the application to the sponsor, in the event that that the sponsoring agency's electronic system allows PIs to submit proposals. Consult the agency website for appropriate preparation and submission procedures. Again, no submission to the agency may be made by ANY party unless DSR has approved the documents routed with the DSR-1.
