Getting Started

Steps to starting your application.

Preparation is Critical.

In the current funding environment, even minute problems with the grant proposal can lead to rejection.

1. Carefully review the invitation for the proposal.

If you are considering submitting a proposal, then please actively read the invitation.

2. Notify the Chair and Dean of your intent to apply for external funding.

Email the Chair and Dean with the name of the opportunity, the sponsor, the project time period, cost-share requests, facility needs, co-PIs, course buyouts, and semesters, and notify them of any necessary University letters of support.

3. Enter the proposal information in Kuali.

Kuali Research is the University’s official tracking system for external funding. This is the only way to document the funding for which you are applying and to comply with University policy. We use Kuali to report proposal activity in our College.
