Electronic Submission Resources

Many grant agencies conduct their business electronically. Most federal grant proposals are required to be submitted electronically, and subsequent grant business is also completed online.

Faculty and staff are asked to check grant program guidelines closely to determine whether electronic proposal submission is required and, if so, contact Sponsored Programs Administration staff as soon as possible to allow time for the necessary administrative preparations. Each proposal submission offers unique challenges that we can help resolve, saving you time and effort.
