Required Forms For Grant Submissions

Below is a list of required OSP forms to support funding proposal requests. These forms assist us in collecting all critical information needed by the University and to apply for the grant. OSP will submit all final grant requests on behalf of the principal investigator (PI).

Please note: all grant proposals must undergo an internal review process prior to submission to the funding agency.

Please provide all of the following required and final documents to our office two weeks prior to the funder's deadline.

Required Document Checklist

  1. Authorization/COI Form - This internal document is required for all grant submissions. Open the PDF document in your browser, download it, and save it to your desktop. Open Acrobat Reader, go to "File," then open and locate the Authorization Form template. Enter your information into the form and then click "save as" to rename the file.

    • Financial Conflict of Interest Policy - This policy provides and increases awareness of any potential financial conflicts of interest. This policy must be reviewed before signing off on the authorization form.

  2. Appropriate Internal Budget Form

      • Internal Budget Template – Federal - This template must be used for funding requests from federal agencies (NSF, NIH, NEH, etc.) as well as pass-through federal funding opportunities (in which the funds originate from a federal source and as passed through a non-federal agency). It will calculate indirect cost using UHart’s federally assigned rate, which is currently 43% of salaries and wages. If the federal funder requires an alternative rate (e.g. some training grants specify 8% of total direct costs), OSP will amend the rate.
      • Internal Budget Template – Non-Federal - This template must be used for funding requests from state, local, foundation, and other private funding sources. It will calculate indirect costs as 15% of total direct costs. If the funder does not allow indirect costs or requires an alternative rate, OSP will amend the rate.

  3. Budget Justification - (if required by funding agency) must support the requested budget being submitted by the PI and must not be more than 3 pages for all years of the project combined.

  4. Scope of Work by PI

  5. RFP (if applicable)
