Proposal Development

Review & Approval Timeline

The Office of Research must review and approve every proposal before it may be submitted to a sponsor, even if you choose not to request grant writing services. In order to adequately review every proposal, researchers must submit their proposals to the Office of Research well in advance of the sponsors' deadlines.

Minimum Lead Time
  • For complex and/or multi-institutional proposals: 10 business days
  • For standard, single institution proposals from experienced principal investigators (PIs): 5 business days
  • For any proposal from a PI with little or no funding history: 10 business days

 
Ideally, PIs will submit their proposals and proposal routing forms 1-3 months in advance of the sponsor's deadline. Enter your sponsor's deadline into the Interactive Proposal Submission Timeline worksheet to get a sense of our recommended timeline.

Policy

Lead time is counted from the moment a proposal routing form is signed by the dean. Proposals which are not approved by the chair/dean/director have not received institutional approval for submission.

All deadlines represent the amount of lead time necessary before the document is to be transmitted to the funding agency or private entity. In order to serve faculty members from all departments in a professional manner, the Office of Research must require that PIs follow the rule that all proposals be given to the Office of Research for review according to this schedule. PIs must submit a completed and fully signed Proposal Routing Form with the grant proposal narrative or contract scope of work, along with the budget and budget justification. Staff cannot guarantee that documents which are late will be reviewed in time to meet required agency deadlines. Proposals for a particular deadline will be reviewed in the order which the college-authorized routing form is submitted.

The Office of Research is responsible for obtaining the appropriate institutional signatures for documents that are submitted within the established policy.

UNO requires a proposal review because they make commitments for personnel resources, institutional resources, and cash. The university reserves the right to refuse any award resulting from a proposal which was not fully reviewed and/or which does not support the mission of UNO.

Proposals that follow individual funding agencies' standards and style guidelines receive funding at a higher rate. Principal investigators should always check the funding agencies' websites and confer with their pre-award team.
