Checklist for Proposal Approval (Form RA-100)

ORSP Checklist

ORSP will accept email routing of your Checklist and proposal. Email routing is optional; you are welcome to continue to route and submit hardcopy.  The final proposal must still be received by ORSP five working days prior to the sponsor deadline.

Email routing and approval will be accepted when:

1. You email your Checklist and proposal to your Chair/Director (cc your co-PI, if appropriate).  If you are still tweaking your proposal, include at a minimum the 1) scope of work, 2) budget, and 3) budget narrative. 
2. In the body of the email,
   • Indicate you are routing via email your Checklist for Approval;
   • State whether you are attaching the final complete proposal OR, if the proposal is still being tweaked, the preliminary proposal containing – at a minimum – the 1) scope of work, 2) budget, and 3) budget narrative.  
   • Identify by name your departmentally-assigned pre-award sponsored programs specialist (SPS).  You may either cc him/her on the email, or include his/her email address in the body of your message to facilitate step #3 by your dean.
3. Request your Chair/Director review.

Upon review and approval, your Chair/Director may forward (over his/her University email account) your original request and attachments with his/her approval clearly stated in the body of the message to your Dean/Executive Officer (cc’ing you and your co-PI).  It is important that the email be forwarded so that the attachments are included.

Upon review and approval, your Dean may forward (over his/her University email account) the original email and attachments to the pre-award person identified in the original email. 

While email routing will likely work best with routine proposals, if other signatures are required (e.g., compliance officers – IRB, IACUC, EHRM, COI, etc. – or the Director of Technology Transfer or VPRD), approvals received over the University email accounts of these individuals will also constitute their signatures.
