How Do I Get Started on a Proposal?
Step 1: Prepare a Budget
Contact me by email or phone as soon as possible. I will begin to prepare a budget that meets both UAH and agency guidelines and is an accurate representation of the project costs.
-------------------------
† Agency Name
† Solicitation Number and/or Links
† Proposal Deadline
† Start/End Dates
† Personnel(e.g. faculty, staff, GRAs, undergrads)
† Equipment
† Operating Expenses to Include:
• Travel - domestic and foreign
• Publication Charges
• Materials and Supplies
• Consultants and Subcontracts
• Field Equipment
-------------------------
In addition to preparing the budget, I will also assist you in preparing any documentation required for your budget. I will continue working on the budget while you are completing the technical.Step 2: Obtain the Internal Coordination Sheet (ICS)
Once you approve the budget, I will forward it to Kenya Cole in OSP and she will prepare the ICS. This is sent to the PI via email to be printed out and signed. The PI gets the Department Chairman to sign and I will get the remaining signatures.
Step 3: Turn in your Proposal for Review and Submission
Your ready-to-submit technical, approved budget and completed ICS have an internal deadline for submission: 3 days prior to the Agency due date.
