Submit a Notice of Intent to Apply as soon as you decide to pursue an opportunity, or directly email your OSP liaison:

Upon notification, your OSP liaison will review the required proposal components, discuss next steps, and provide resources to support your proposal effort.

OSP staff are available to discuss approaches to framing your project’s aims and activities in order to meet sponsor objectives, developing the project’s budget, providing feedback on narrative components (time permitting), and ensuring compliance with sponsor requirements and guidelines.

For proposals to private sponsors, OSP works alongside colleagues in the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations who support investigators in conceptualizing your project and developing your proposal.

Please take advantage of our Research Development and Proposal Development Resources below - and for a deeper dive of proposal resources, view our webinar recordings and toolkits on the Redhawk Hub.

The Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) requires all proposals to be submitted in OneAegis by start of business (9am) 10-business days prior to the sponsor deadline. Your OSP Proposal Steward is happy to start this form for you.

This required review ensures your proposal meets all sponsor and institutional requirements, and best positions your proposal for success in the review process. Please review the complete Proposal Review and Deadline Policy.

Submit the proposal, celebrate your hard work and await a decision!

Once institutional approval is complete, the OSP team is available to assist with submitting the proposal as needed or required.

If awarded, OSP works with the investigator to negotiate the award and set-up the project for its eventual success.
