In this phase of the project lifecycle, you will route and submit your proposal through Cayuse and the sponsoring agency. Keep our deadline policy in mind when preparing.
- Proposal development is the ultimate responsibility of the PI and the departments or units of the various schools, colleges, or institutes.
- Proposal submission happens with ORSP when you route and submit your proposal through Cayuse. You may also need to submit the proposal through the sponsor agency directly (e.g., Spencer Foundation, Grants.gov).
Cayuse
UCA uses an electronic system called Cayuse Sponsored Projects (Cayuse SP) to route all external grant proposals (federal, state, foundation, and industry) through the administrative channels needed for approval prior to submission. The approvals needed at the institutional level may include individuals/offices such as the department chair, college dean, provost, grants accounting, and sponsored programs. This process ensures that you have the institutional support required by UCA policy and most funding agencies.
NOTE: You will need a brief training to use Cayuse SP for the first time. Please email orsp@uca.edu to set up an appointment.
