Due to restrictions and reporting requirements imposed on sponsored projects, most funding sources require a detailed description of the work planned, the outline of expected expenditures, and agency specific forms. All of this information is compiled to form a proposal. Prior to a Principal Investigator (PI) submitting the proposal to an agency, the proposal must undergo an internal review. Proposals must be reviewed to ensure:

• budgets are correct, using the most recent F&A and fringe benefit rates.
• the PI is in compliance with University, Federal, and State regulations and policies.
• proper signatures are obtained to verify University support.
