All proposals are due in OSPA a minimum of 2 full working days prior to the submit deadline. This is to allow sufficient time for appropriate review and approval. All proposals must be routed with a gold sheet prior to submission. This includes proposals that may be submitted electronically.
Indirect costs are to be recovered on all research proposals.
If a sponsor has an established policy with a reduced rate, we allow that reduced rate to be used. Please attach copies of the sponsor guidelines to the gold sheet and highlight the indirect cost recovery policy. Cost share that is not mandatory is not to be included on the gold sheet or the budget. If cost share is mandatory, please attach a copy of the sponsor guidelines to the gold sheet and highlight the section on cost share. Often just the cover page is marked and as that is an obvious one, it is not often overlooked.
