Who will help me submit a proposal?

UNH, like most universities, is comprised of units with varying amounts of experience and/or resources for activities like proposal preparation.   That variation creates a mix of expectations about how and when an investigator interacts with Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA) staff to submit a proposal. 

SPA has developed guidelines for the review and submission of proposals to serve as a starting point in this continually evolving business environment.

Some pointers that apply to all proposal submissions:

Check in with your Grant and Contract Administrator (GCA) well ahead of the deadline to confirm the step-by-step process for submission to the particular sponsor, including registration requirements, if any.

Be sure to leave time before the sponsor's deadline to deal with the inevitable "glitches" that will arise.

Remember..... in almost all cases, only your GCA can finalize the proposal submission.
