Don’t Forget!

When you are submitting a proposal don’t forget to:

  • Upload minimum documentation into Cayuse SP: a Scope of Work or Project Summary, final Budget, final Budget Justification, program announcement and any cost restrictions (helpful but not required).
  • Provide sufficient time for your proposal to be reviewed and authorized by the Dean’s Office in the College of Agricultural Sciences and the OSU Office of Sponsored Research and Award Administration (5 days recomended).
  • Be proactive with research compliance needs through the OSU Office of Research Integrity.
