Proposal Development

Review & Approval Timeline

The Office of Research must review and approve every proposal before it may be submitted to any sponsor. In order for every proposal to receive adequate review, researchers must submit their proposals to the Office of Research via the Proposal Routing form well in advance of the sponsors' deadlines.

Minimum Lead Time for Proposal Routing Form
  • For complex and/or multi-institutional proposals: 10 business days
  • For proposals with cost share: 10 business days
  • For any proposal from a PI with little or no funding history: 10 business days
  • For standard, single institution proposals from experienced PIs: 5 business days

 
See the below Minimum Lead Time Policy for more information.

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

Timeline Deliverable Deadline
ASAP Request Office of Research services  
Three Months Out If applicable, request external review  
Two Months Out Provide rough draft of proposal to grant writer  
Four Weeks Out Submit Proposal Routing form  
Agency Deadline All work must be completed and submitted to sponsor  

 

Minimum Lead Time 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 proposal narrative or contract scope of work, the budget, and the budget justification attached. Staff cannot guarantee that late documents will be reviewed in time to meet required agency deadlines. Proposals for a particular deadline will be reviewed in the order in which the college-authorized routing forms are 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 the University makes 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.

How to Apply

The Office of Research maintains webpages with instructions, forms, and guidelines specific to particular recurring sponsors. Please refer to these webpages for policies and procedures when applying for funding from these sponsors.
