How-To’s
- How can I let my grant administrator know of a grant that I intend to submit?
-
- Please inform the CAHNRS Grants Team of a new grant you intend to submit by filling out the required online proposal intake form.
- Please contact CAHNRS Grants (CAHNRS.grants@wsu.edu) for any pre-award support inquiries.
- What process should I expect in working on a proposal (pre-award) with a unit grant administrator?
-
- Review the following overview of the process of grant submission (.pdf). If the grant is being submitted from WSU to the funding agency, please review the Proposal Processing Guidelines (.pdf).
- If you are a subcontractor, please review Being a Subcontractor on a Proposal (.pdf).
- There is additional guidance if there will be a cost share or match (.pdf).
- When do I consider an award a sponsored project and go through ORSO?
-
- Please refer to the rule of thumb processing document and the agreement processing decision support tree found at the top of the ORSO guidelines website.
- If in doubt, contact your unit grant administrator who will help you decide.
- If WSU is a subcontractor on a grant, what questions should I ask my counterpart at the lead institution so that I can get my subcontract?
-
- Please ask your counterpart at the lead institution to get in contact with their central grants office to let them know a subcontract is needed.
- You can put your grant administrator in contact with their grant administrator to find out what information they need from us and what forms they require us to fill out. Usually we need a budget, scope of work, and a subcontract initiation form filled in.
- Please notify your unit grant administrator that you are going to submit a subcontract. Being a Subcontractor on a Proposal (.pdf) provides additional information about the process you should expect.
- How do I get a subaccount from multidisciplinary grant that I am not the lead PI?
Work with your unit grants administrator. They can contact the grant administrator of the main PI to either get the subaccount set up at the award stage, or get the RCAR started to set the account up.
- When I am dealing with industry, when do I need to start the eREX process?
As soon as you begin to develop a budget and scope of work/work plan, involve your unit grants administrator. They will help you correctly calculate F&A, and prepare the eREX at the appropriate time.
