In order to serve faculty members from all departments
in a professional manner, the Office of Research must require that faculty
follow the rule that all proposals be given to the Office of Research
for review according to the schedule below. P.I.s must submit a completed
and fully signed UNO Routing Form with the grant proposal narrative
or contract scope of work, along with the budget and budget explanation.
Staff cannot guarantee that documents which are "late" will
be reviewed in time to meet required agency deadlines.
The Office of Research is responsible
for obtaining the appropriate institutional signatures for documents
that are submitted within the established policy. Guidelines for signatory
authority are available by clicking here.
Don't fall victim to the Late Proposal Rule by asking
us to jeopardize proposals which were submitted on time by diverting
our attention to late proposals. We cannot authorize sending out documents
which have not been properly reviewed because proposals from this institution
make legal committments for personnel resources, institutional resources,
and cash.
