If an agency or foundation requires electronic submission of a grant application, can the PI submit the grant directly to the agency or foundation?
No. All grant submissions must be processed through SPA. The PI may be allowed to upload the application on the agency or foundations electronic site and click on a submit button (in the case of NSF or NIH) but final authorization of the submission occurs in SPA. Grants to foundations, such as AQHA, that are submitted directly to the foundation should be processed and submitted by SPA. An IAS must accompany all grant and contract submissions.
