Obtain Approvals for your Proposal

Step 4: Obtain Approvals for your Proposal

Your team member will help you obtain the necessary approvals for your proposal using our grant administration software called Cayuse.  At a minimum, we will request approvals from:

• your Chair
• your Dean
• the Provost (or delegate)
• the CPP Chief Financial Officer (or delegate)
• the ORSP Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) 
• others based upon your proposed work if it involves biohazards, etc

Additional approvals if applicable:

• If your budget includes overload, you must obtain approval from your Dean and Chair.
• If the sponsor does not allow for indirect costs, you must arrange to pay the 4.5% Foundation Administrative Fee on all grant expenditures.  Normally this fee is paid by the department/college.  Please fill out the Cost Share form complete with the accounts to pay the administrative fee.
