Submitting a Proposal

Overview and Procedure

REVIEW PROCESS : It is an important function of the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) to determine that proposals do not commit ISU in any way that opposes the University's role and mission. To protect both the Project Director and the University, a review process has been established.

All proposals must be routed through the OSP with an ISU Proposal Approval and Routing Form!

The Principal Investigator must sign the routing form and obtain the signatures of the department chair, UBO, and dean. OSP requires that proposals be submitted to the OSP office for review a minimum of five (5) working days in advance of the submission date. All proposal will be reviewed by OSP staff, including the proposed budget.

The budget must include standard University fringe benefit rates and indirect cost rates. Rates are subject to change. Note: Always check current rates before completing your budget!

After a thorough reveiw, Sponsored Program's staff will secure final approval signatures as appropriate, including the authorized representative (AOR).

PLEASE NOTE : If you are working with another institution on a proposal and that institution will actually submit the proposal, you must still get approval from ISU to be a part of the project. BEFORE the proposal is submitted, you should send a description of ISU's part (scope of work) and a budget for ISU, along with a Proposal Approval and Routing form, to the OSP.

MINIMUM 5 WORKING DAYS : The OSP strongly suggests that you bring your completed proposal and a Proposal Approval and Routing Form to the OSP office a minimum of five working days prior to the funding agency deadline. If the requestd five days can not be met, the OSP should be contacted as soon as possible to alert staff to the situation.

TWO COPIES : OSP will need 2 copies plus the original proposal for submission. If OSP will be mailing your proposal, the PI will need to provide the number of copies requested by the funding agency. Note: The PI will be asked to mail the proposal if it is not in the OSP office at least five working days before the deadline.

COVER SHEET & LETTER OF COMMITMENT : Quite often the application/proposal will require a signed coversheet or letter of commitment from all parties involved in the project. To get this, the above information will need to be submitted, with the letter or coversheet, to OSP. After the material has been reviewed, OSP will obtain the necessary administrative signatures on both the routing form and any signature pages of the proposal.
