Scope

This procedure covers forms used by principal investigators/program directors to provide summary information and approval action in processing proposals through the University to the sponsor.

Procedure

The ResearchUVA (RUVA) Funding Proposal should be completed in its entirety prior to forwarding the proposal to Department Review for processing.

The research administrator will ensure appropriate clearances have been obtained from the responsible central or departmental offices before submitting any proposals to Department Revier or Specialist Review. Early contact and submission of all supporting information to the appropriate office will speed program approvals.

Once the research administrator has completed the proposal and routed it to the submitting office, the Specialist in the submitting office will review the proposal, budget, associated documents, and approvals for compliance with University policies and procedures prior to submission to the sponsor.

Submitted RUVA Funding Proposals will be available for review in RUVA and used for tracking proposal status.

Ownership

The Executive Director of the Office of Sponsored Programs is responsible for ensuring that this procedure is necessary, reflects actual practice, and supports University policy.
