What is the approval procedure for proposals?
In order to process an external proposal through the University, you need to obtain the approval signatures of the appropriate administrative offices e.g. department chair and dean on the Approval Form that accompanies the formal proposal through the internal review process. This sheet specifies the level of institutional commitment to the proposed activity and provides evidence of departmental and deans support. After departmental and collegiate approvals are obtained the application is sent to OGRS for final review and sign-off. If a proposal budget contains cost sharing or matching funds, you must complete the Cost Sharing page of the Approval Form prior to obtaining your chairs and deans signatures.
