Process for Submitting Applications

Internal Process Required internal paperwork: Project Description Template (UA only) – Submitted to UA. Used in the process of finding appropriate funding opportunities. Cayuse SP (https://rowan.cayuse424.com/) – Submitted to OSP. Cayuse SP has replaced the previous paper forms required for internal approvals and allows submitters to: 1) upload attachments; 2) answer compliance questions; and, 3) electronically route for Chair/Dean/OSP approval. OSP receives the Proposal Record for final review and OSP or UA will submit the actual proposal upon approval. The Cayuse system uses your existing Rowan network login credentials.

Cayuse SP Sneak Peak

Cayuse SP Sneak Peak

Project Description Template Required for requests for prospect research through University Advancement

I want to submit a Letter of Inquiry… Pre-proposals, preliminary applications, or letters of inquiry Although OSP or UA do not require certified Cayuse SP records for these types of submissions, some departments do. Please notify our offices so we can assist. Guidelines vary.

I want to submit a proposal… Only UA or OSP may submit proposals or grant applications on behalf of the University. Proposals that are not approved prior to submission or those submitted by a non-authorized representative: Can be rejected by the University if awarded with unfavorable terms or conditions. May not include the full protection of the University under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. Significantly delays processing time. Even with an award notice, project work cannot begin until university approval is acquired. Exceptions: PIs may submit proposals on their own for money that will be awarded directly to them, not managed by Rowan (i.e. monetary awards, travel funds, fellowships, scholarships.)

Things to Remember: Depending on your project or sponsor, training may be required; Research Regulatory Committees – IRB, IACUC, IBC; Electronic portal registrations; and, Allow time for signatures/approvals – contracts, NDAs/MTAs, support letters, proposal certifications. Regulatory Committee Chairs: IRB: Dr. Harriett Hartman IACUC (Glassboro): Dr. Alison Kufka IBC: Dr. Gregory Hecht

FAQ: Q: I’ve come from another university. How do I transfer a grant awarded to me? A: Since grants are awarded to institutions, not individuals, your former institution must relinquish rights by following the sponsor’s guidelines. OSP will work with both the former institution and the sponsor to ensure a smooth transfer. Transfers can take several months, so get started early.

FAQ: Q: How can I find grant opportunities? A: Rowan has access to two funding databases: (1) InfoEd International; and, (2) the Foundation Directory Online. Contact an OSP/UA representative for instructions on signing up and accessing these sites. You can also check grants.gov for federal opportunities and http://www.nj.gov/nj/gov/njgov/grants.html for NJ funding opportunities. Note: Finding Grant Funding Workshop: Thursday, September 28, 2017, 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. (CSC 221)
