All proposals, after review and approval, are submitted by an Authorized Organizational Representative (Director/Associate Director of the Office of Sponsored Programs) on behalf of the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska for the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. All proposals must have a designated Principal Investigator.
All proposals must be provided to Sponsored Programs for review and transmittal to the sponsor in advance of the sponsor’s published deadline. Please allow as much time as possible for:
- Internal routing of draft information and budgets via NuRamp
- Sponsored Programs to review the complete proposal package and provide feedback on any necessary or recommended changes
- Investigators to implement changes and return revisions to Sponsored Programs
- Sponsored Programs to re-check and transmit the proposal to the sponsor
NOTE: Most electronic systems now require time for proposal validation before the proposal is considered received. On heavy deadline days, this can be a few minutes to several hours.
For more details on who is responsible for which elements of the process, see the OSP Roles and Responsibilities Matrix.
