Office of Sponsored Programs
 Research Policies & Procedures The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) is the single source for information and for administration of all research and/creative activity proposals and contracts on campus. Any proposed project, whether it is for submission to a government, foundation, or corporate funding source, must be reviewed by OSP prior to submission. (This includes projects where Rowan will be a subaward to another lead institution). Please review the Principal Investigator Guidelines and Eligibility before working on a proposal submission. Faculty are encouraged to start the submission process by thoroughly reviewing the sponsor’s guidelines and submitting the OSP Intent to Propose Form 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. For projects requiring submission by a 501 (c ) agency, OSP will notify the Rowan University Foundation and coordinate the transfer of the grant submission to them. If it is determined that the grant should be submitted by OSP, then the Principal Investigator (PI) will be notified and asked to submit the new streamlined two- page OSP Proposal Planning and Submission Form within five days of the sponsor’s deadline. This form should be completed by the PI, printed, and signed by the PI, the PI’s Chair, and the PI’s Dean (Co-PI’s no longer need to sign). **Coming Spring 2012- OSP is working with Enterprise Information Services to bring both the Intent to Propose and the Proposal Planning and Submission Form online into an electronic approval and routing system that may be accessed through Self Service Banner. Upon receipt of the Proposal Planning and Submission Form, OSP will review the paperwork to ensure the proper calculation of salary and fringe benefits, F & A (Facilities & Administration) costs where applicable, availability of funds for university cost-sharing, and general compliance with University policy and procedures. OSP will also obtain all administrative signatures when required. They are:
When a sponsor issues contracts, OSP will ensure they are fully reviewed by Contracts and Procurement, signed by an authorized representative, and mailed back to the sponsor. It is important that OSP is notified in the event of an award. If contracts are taken directly to the President’s Office or the PI does not notify OSP of an award, processing of post-award paperwork to set up a fund account is delayed.
