How do you get your proposal
approved and submitted?
University Clearance
All external grant proposals must be approved in advance
of submission by the appropriate Vice President and the President.
No grants, contracts, or other agreements are to be submitted
without the signature of the President or his delegated authority.The
principal investigator or project director must submit:
- a completed university Proposal
Clearance Form (PCF),
- a final proposal budget, and
- a final or "final draft" proposal or contract.
The PCF is for internal purposes only and accompanies
your proposal through the levels of approval (Chair -> Dean
-> ORSP -> appropriate VPs -> university President).
To ensure that all signatures can be obtained
in a timely fashion, the PCF and related materials should be submitted
to ORSP as follows:
- at least 3 days before the deadline for grant applications,
and
- at least 2 weeks before the start date for contract.

Clearance Form Instructions.
Copying and Mailing
The project director is responsible for making copies and sending
the proposal package to the agency. ORSP will provide assistance
when requested, but it is the project director’s responsibility
for all costs associated with copying and sending to the agency.
Electronic Submissions
ORSP is the administrative unit at SFA that is approved to submit
applications to government agencies using on-line applications
(including Grants.gov,
Department
of Education E-Grants, National
Science Foundation's Fastlane, Texas
Education Agency, and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating
Board). and can help you prepare your documents for submission,
monitor the status of sumitted proposal components, and provide
electronic signatures for submission completion. Please let us
know if you plan to submit your proposal electronically.
