HOW TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL

Find a Funding Opportunity.

Is MSU an eligible institution?

If yes, please complete the Proposal Request Form and one of our team members will be assigned to assist.
If not, move on to another opportunity.

Is the RFP institutionally limited?

Search https://vprgs.msu.edu/funding-opportunities/institutionally-limited
If yes, work with Health Colleges Research Services (HCRS) and follow these guidelines: https://vp.research.msu.edu/institutionally-limited-application-procedure

When is the proposal due?

Work with HCRS to establish a proposal timeline following the MSU Sponsored Programs Administration proposal submission deadline policy:
https://osp.msu.edu/PL/Portal/DocumentViewer.aspx?cga=aQBkAD0AMwAwADEA

Does the sponsor require cost share?

If so, how much? Where will this money come from?
This requires extra time and approvals, please start early.

Does the sponsor allow indirect cost recovery (IDC)?

If not, is the Department Chair in support of pursuing a grant that does not provide IDC?

Is this proposal a Grants.gov submission or other?

For assistance from the Health Colleges Research Services office, please use the Proposal Request Form, https://msu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eQZQW00tdPNVQ1v?

A Health Colleges Research Services research administrator will be assigned to work with you.

They will work with OSP to finalize the proposal document in Kuali Coeus.
Once budget needs are sent, a draft budget will be started for your review based on the solicitation requirements and agency guidelines.
