Do all grant applications and proposals have to go through the approval process?
University policy requires that all grant applications and proposals must go through the usual approval process before it is submitted to a potential sponsor or funding agency. This is true whether the application or proposal for a grant is submitted to a private funding sponsor, such as a foundation or corporation, a public sponsor, such as a Federal or State agency, or to any other organization, such as a professional association or society. This is also true whether the application or proposal is a new project, a continuation, a renewal, or a supplement. The only exceptions are gifts and most fellowship applications.
