Fiscal Officers, Chairs, Deans, Unit Heads

Proposals that are submitted for Grant Programs administered by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research require that applications be submitted through the Internal Funding Programs System. These faculty proposals will route for school or departmental approval. If your approval is being sought, you will be notified by email and the proposal will appear in your "Action List" on OneStart.

Please open and review each proposal and budget. Necessary changes will require that the application be returned to the applicant by selecting "return to previous" at the bottom of the applicaiton. Only the applicant can make changes. For Digital Arts & Humanities Fellowship proposals, please review the course release requested.

In the “Financial Officer Section”  (under “Attachment Type”), please check that the network ID for the Department Chair/School Dean is correct.  If the Department Chair/School Dean network ID is incorrect, please correct it.

The proposal may include requested letter(s) of support. These letters are also accepted by other means such as: delivery, fax, mail or email. This may not be complete on the application form.

If you cannot approve the budget/proposal, please select "return to previous". This will allow the applicant to make changes to resolve budget issues, etc. and to re-submit the application. If you click "disapprove", the document will be cancelled and the applicant will have to re-submit an entirely new application form.

If you have received verbal approval from the chair, dean, or unit head, select "yes" next to "Verbal approval received?". This will automatically submit the application to OVPR and bypass the department chair, dean, or unit head for final approval. By selecting "no" next to "Verbal approval received?", the application will route to the department chair, dean, or unit head for final approval.

When the application and budget are ready for approval, select the "approve" button at the bottom of the page to route the proposal either to OVPR or to the department chair, dean, or unit head for final approval
