Proposals And Applications i) Proposals and applications for consideration for a long term leave shall be submitted before November 1 of the school year prior to the year for which the leave is requested.
Proposals And Applications. All proposals and applications for consideration for Study/Research Development Leaves shall be submitted to the Director of Education before February 15th of the school year prior to the year for which the leave is requested.
Proposals And Applications. Principal Investigators and/or their staff must utilize the predetermined and provisional F&A rates noted above in all competitive and non-competitive proposals submitted directly to a Federal agency and/or submitted via another institution/entity (i.e., subcontract, subagreement) as part of their proposal to a Federal agency. These rates should be used in proposals to federally sponsored Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOA) (e.g., Requests for Proposals [RFP] and Requests for Applications [RFA]). The rates should also be utilized when developing/calculating rates, modules or milestones included in fixed priced agreements with Federal agencies. There are certain Federal agencies/programs which may require the University to utilize a lower rate or a stipulated rate in the proposal (i.e., NIH training grants and fellowships). The non-standard rate should be applied to the direct costs as instructed in the FOA documents. The net loss of funding incurred by utilizing the stipulated rate should be claimed, when allowable under the sponsoring agencies’ guidelines, in the proposal as the University’s contribution (cost sharing) to the project. The Office of Sponsored Research Services (OSRS) will review the application of F&A rates in the proposal budgets prior to submission. They will direct questions or concerns about the rates or the MTDC base exclusions to the Principal Investigator, as necessary. Post-Award: During the account set up process for each new award OSRS will input the current/appropriate F&A rate into the Account Profile. Due to the time delay between the submission of the proposal and the issuance of the award, the Federal agency may have to adjust the rate so it’s consistent with our most recent rate agreement.
