Grant Life Cycle

Proposal Preparation

ODURF Pre-Award ODURF pre-award staff work closely with PIs to submit proposals on behalf of ODU and its researchers All applications for sponsored projects are submitted through ODURF pre-award staff Applications cannot be submitted by any other unit or individual in the name of the Research Foundation or ODU

Roles and Responsibilities Principal Investigator Contact ODURF to begin the proposal development process (budget, internal forms, etc.) Review sponsoring agency’s guidelines and deadlines Prepare proposal compliant with agency guidelines Discuss project with chair and dean Coordinate for any Subrecipient and /or cost share arrangements Approve and route proposal transmittal form (PTF) Submit completed proposal to ODURF at least 5 business days before agency deadline

Facilities and Administrative Costs (F&A) Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement Office of Naval Research April 12, 2011 (good through 6/30/14) ODU faculty posted fringe rate 30.00% Current F&A Rates 53% Research on-campus 26% Research off-campus Department of Defense 60% on-campus 35% off-campus 43.7% Instruction on-campus Sponsor F&A caps

Facilities and Administrative Costs (F&A) F&A is a real cost of performing work on a project Facilities: Building, utilities, equipment Library – operations and materials operation and maintenance expenses - janitorial, repairs, security, environmental safety, and insurance Administrative: General administration and expenses - President, financial management, general counsel, management information systems Departmental administration - Deans, faculty administrative work, clerical staff, office supplies Sponsored Programs Administration Student Administration and Services Recovered F&A is distributed to academic units to support research infrastructure

Cost Sharing Mandatory Voluntary commitment Required by the sponsor Must be tracked and reported to sponsor Voluntary commitment is offered in the proposal if offered and accepted, it becomes mandatory Must be tracked and documented

Electronic Proposal Transmittal Form (ePTF) An internal electronic form that contains project information and is used to obtain approval of ODU commitment of resources Time and effort of any ODU/ODURF personnel (salaries) Use of university facilities and equipment Electronic signature approval is required by the PI, Co-PI, chair(s), and dean(s) Form can be accessed remotely through the internet: http://www.researchfoundation.odu.edu/forms/ptf.htm ODURF is not authorized to submit a proposal without receiving a fully approved ePTF Once completed and signed, the ePTF should be routed back to the Pre-award GCA in the ODURF office

Why the 5 Day Guarantee? Several near misses as a result of PIs waiting until the last minute to complete the proposal process An increased number of proposals Accommodates funding agencies’ processes and application complexities Allows time for proposal development assistance Allows time for sufficient review by college and department officials and ODURF officials Guarantees PIs receive ODURF staff’s “best work” Serves as a professional courtesy to colleagues also submitting proposals

When to contact ODURF PI should contact ODURF immediately upon identifying a sponsor and program for proposal submission Places PI in ODURF proposal queue Assures ODURF pre-award staff will be available to provide support to the PI Proposals received by ODURF five or more working days from deadline are guaranteed submission by the deadline Proposals received by ODURF less than five working days of deadline will be completed, reviewed, approved, and submitted if and as resources permit Proposals without firm deadlines will be submitted as soon as practical and prioritized in order of receipt PI works simultaneously with both ODURF and grant writing staff to submit a well-prepared and compliant application
