Grant Proposals

Grant Process Steps

• This is for NEW grants, not grant renewals.
• The approval form must be completed for all NEW grant requests.
• You will also be required to complete any training, including EDGAR, Pre-award or Post-Award training as required by the grant.
• Once you have completed filling out the form, email the form to your immediate supervisor.
• After review, your immediate supervisor is expected to send the form to the Cabinet-level administrator requesting the GRAF be placed on the Cabinet agenda.
• It is your responsibility to ensure the GRAF is placed on the Cabinet agenda well within the timeframe to have it approved by Cabinet before the grant application is due.
• It is imperative and your responsibility to get all budget forms to the Grant Accountant in the Business Office before the scheduled Cabinet meeting. This will allow all members of Cabinet to be aware of the full scope and budget of the grant. The Vice President for Business and Administration may choose to deny a grant request due to a lack of budget compliance.
• It is your responsibility to notify Institutional Research of any data requests required for the grant application, and for any data that may be required during the term of the grant. A grant request may be denied due to unattainable data reporting requirements.
• No grant application is allowed to be submitted without Cabinet signatures for approval.
