Proposal Submission

Proposal submission is a critical phase that ensures the completed proposal package is delivered accurately and on time to the sponsoring agency. Once the proposal has undergone internal review by the SPA team and all required components have been finalized, the proposal will be submitted.

The authorized organizational representative is responsible for formally submitting the proposal on behalf of the institution. This includes uploading documents, confirming receipt with the sponsor, and resolving any submission errors or last-minute issues. Cayuse is a centralized system that allows investigators and administrators to collaborate on proposal development and submission. Cayuse enables electronic routing for internal approvals and facilitates submissions directly to federal sponsors through the S2S functionality. The SPA team utilizes Cayuse to track submission status and maintain proposal records.
