ORSP Proposal Process

1. Timeline Five-Day Deadline for Proposal Submission Electronic proposal submission can be a complex endeavor. It is the responsibility of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs to ensure that all proposals conform to College, Research Foundation, CUNY and sponsor guidelines and policies. Over the past year, there have been several instances of late and incomplete proposals that have prompted serious concerns from Department Chairs, School Deans, and inquiries from senior administrators.  In response to these concerns and inquiries and to ensure that proposals are submitted timely with proper departmental, School, and College approval, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs is instituting a five working day internal deadline for the receipt of a complete proposal.  A complete submission is a proposal that is entered into Cayuse, contains finalized administrative components (budget, biosketch, resources, etc.), a draft technical section (research plan), all compliance forms (COI and RCR, etc.), and has routed. Proposals that are not received by the ORSP five working days before the deadline may not be submitted to the sponsor.  This policy applies to all external and internal sponsors and funders, including Professional Staff Congress (PSC-CUNY) applications. This policy is effective January 1, 2012. Thank you for your cooperation.
