Additional Information Request Form
ORSP's Proposal Development page offers an internal budget template and a variety of budget information.
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:
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.
At proposal stage, use the CAS Exception Request form when budgeting expenses as direct costs when normally considered F&A costs per OMB Circular A-21. See UM’s Cost Determination Guidelines for more information.
Refer to UM Policy and ORSP Procedures
To meet federal requirements, the Export Control Review may be used to determine the applicability of the federal export control regulations to proposed research projects.
Requests for full or partial waiver of F&A require endorsement by the chair/director and dean, and are processed via the F&A Cost Waiver Request.
The Foreign Air Travel Certification Form is part of ORSP's Travel Guidelines.
