Research Round-Up

Research Round-Up is a communication devoted to sharing information related to open funding opportunities and research administration procedures.

 

For additional information on deadlines, processes and procedures, please instead see our Sponsored Programs Support Services webpage.


 

Friendly Reminder: Proposal Request Form 

Individuals serving as principal investigator on a CEHS-led proposal or co-investigator/collaborator on a grant proposal led by another college or external organization must submit a Proposal Request Form a minimum of 4 weeks prior to the proposal due date.  Doing so ensures the timely routing of your proposal for review and approval by College administration, Central Sponsored Programs Administration (formerly known as University Research Services), Grants & Contracts Financial Administration, and, if required, University Research Compliance.           

 

Please address any questions or concerns regarding the information contained below to the CEHS Sponsored Programs team: Kayley Watson (Kayley.Watson@okstate.edu), Samar Abid (SamarAA@okstate.edu), or Erin Brown (Erin.Brown10@okstate.edu).


Tip of the Month

  • Subrecipients on Proposals

    When including a proposed subaward to another organization in an application for funding, OSU requires the following documentation and evidence of institutional support for the proposal:

     

    • Institutionally signed Subrecipient Letter of Commitment (template provided to you by our office)
    • Detailed Subaward Budget, inclusive of direct AND indirect costs (when allowed by solicitation)
    • Subaward Budget Justification, corresponding with all costs identified on the detailed budget
    • Subaward Scope of Work – description of the institution’s proposed involvement and responsibility on the project
    • Any sponsor-required documents pertaining to the subrecipient, such as Project Performance Location, Letter of Collaboration, Facilities and Other Resources documents, Biosketches, etc.
    • Some sponsors may also have specific requirements for proposed subrecipients.  For example, all federal funding opportunities require that subrecipients have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) prior to being issued a subaward, which can be obtained through a semi-lengthy registration process with Sam.gov.

     

    Our team outlines the documents needed for subrecipients in our timeline that we send to you after you submit your Proposal Request Form; please read this email thoroughly and work with your partnering institution to ensure that all documents for the planned subaward are received by the deadlines we set.

     

    Tips:

    • Inform our office about your proposal involving subawards as soon as possible but NO LATER THAN 1 month before the application submission deadline; the more time the better, since most institutions have to route their own documents internally before they can provide the final versions to us.
    • Connecting your assigned Sponsored Programs staff to the other institution’s staff allows more efficient coordination of the necessary documents.
    • It can be helpful to give your subawardee a budget limit early on, so that we can plan the overall budget based on that limit for their portion.
    • Establishing their role and expected responsibilities on the project early on is ideal; making yourself open and available to answer any questions they have along the way is also a great way to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
    • Keep steady communication with your partnering personnel – as the project lead, you have a responsibility to make sure that the subaward is providing everything needed in order to have your proposal routed at OSU and submitted to the sponsor.
