Internal Paperwork (New- Effective 5/4/09)(revised 10/09)
Effective 5/4/09, the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) will be implementing new internal paperwork to streamline the review process for research grants and contracts. Faculty/staff interested in submitting external proposals should submit the new one-page “Intent to Propose Form” via email to SponsoredPrograms@rowan.edu as early as possible. The purpose of this form (which requires no signatures) is to give OSP staff a heads-up about a faculty member’s interest in submitting a proposal to an external funding agency so that OSP staff may effectively plan and prioritize their work.

The new two-page “Proposal Planning and Submission Form” should be completed by the Principal Investigator (PI), printed, signed by the PI, the PI’s Chair, and the PI’s Dean (Co-PI’s no longer need to sign) and submitted to OSP within FIVE DAYS of the sponsor’s deadline. This new form reduces the internal proposal paperwork by over 60%.

Both new forms supersede all prior versions.
