1. Submitting the Grants.gov Application Why 5 Days In Advance? All completed proposals must be submitted to SPS by 9:00 a.m. FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS prior to the agency’s deadline. Your PureEdge file should be transmitted online through http://www.research.buffalo.edu/sps/submit/pureedge/

2. Grants.Gov Routing PI/Research Admin. Inst. Rep. Sponsored Projects Services (SPS) The department works with Sponsored Projects Services (SPS) to finalize the proposal for submission. If there are errors, SPS sends the proposal back to the dept. for correction and resubmission. SPS submits final proposal to Grants.gov. If there are errors, Grants.gov will send an email back to SPS, and the entire proposal will have to go back to the PI for editing. Then the process starts over. Grants.gov See the next slide for details!
