Proposals

You're interested in applying for a sponsored project, now what? SRO is here to support you in preparing proposals for external funding opportunities.

Once you have identified a funding opportunity you are interested in, you must submit an Intent to Submit Form (ISF) to SRO no later than ten (10) business days before the proposal is due to the sponsor. All ÐÒÔË¿ìÈý faculty and staff can find the pre-award resources you will need on the myÐÒÔË¿ìÈý portal on the  page, including the link to the ISF.
