Proposal Development & Grant Management
Grant Proposal Instructions
The MRL Business team handles a significant volume of proposals and awards. Please inform our team as soon as you know about the project to ensure submission to Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA) at least 4 business days before the sponsor deadline (e.g. Friday 5PM deadline packages are due to SPA the prior Monday 8 AM).
The complexity of the specific solicitation will determine how far in advance of the SPA deadline the MRL Business team needs to begin work to best support your submission.
The MRL business team will compile proposal documents, create budgets, prepare budget justifications, submit the proposal package to SPA for internal review, and complete subsequent submissions to external sponsors.
