  • KC Proposal Narrative Type Guide

    Research Administrative Support Quick Reference GuideUpdated May 2020

  • Overview

    Uploaded attachments in KC proposals are just options for providing a sponsor with their requested documentation.

    Uploads can be anything from a single MS Word document or PDF file, a spreadsheet, scanned letters, bio sketches, subaward budget forms, MS PowerPoint slides…the list is virtually endless.

    Anything can be uploaded as an attachment –what really matters is:

    • Which format does your sponsor want for the attachments?

    • Where in KC do you put the upload?

    • Which submission method is being used?

    QC #33 May 2020 Narrative Guide for KC Proposals at MIT

  • Proposal Submission methods

    Paper & Email

    DLC prepares proposal in sponsor required format

    DLC creates development proposal in KC PD Module & submits proposal for MIT

    review

    OSP reviews & approves in KC; provides cover letter for DLC to send with proposal

    to sponsor

    Proposal sent to sponsor

    Sponsor System

    DLC prepares proposal in Sponsor specific system (example NSF Fastlane, NASA NSPIRES, Proposal Central for some

    Foundation and other Sponsors). DLC allows “AOR” or “SRO” access when done

    DLC creates development proposal in KC PD Module, uploading Sponsor Specific system document(s) & submits proposal

    for MIT review

    OSP reviews in both KC and Sponsor Specific systems; OSP approves in KC, generating KC Institute Proposal # and most often approves and submits in Sponsor system (like FastLane and

    Proposal Central), unless DLC approves in Sponsor system (like NSPIRES)

    Workspace

    DLC user creates or is invited to a Grants.gov workspace proposal; prepares proposal in Workspace and allows “AOR”

    or “SRO” access when done

    DLC creates development proposal in KC PD Module, uploading Workspace

    document(s) MIT requirements & submits proposal from MIT review

    OSP reviews in both KC and Workspace; OSP approves in KC, generates KC Institute Proposal # and submits

    Workspace.

    DLC creates a KC PD, completes MIT & sponsor requirements

    DLC routes KC PD for internal approval

    OSP approves KC proposal & submits s2s

    KC Non S2S Proposals KC S2S Proposal

    Grants.GovSystem to System

    (S2S)

    QC #33 May 2020 Narrative Guide for KC Proposals at MIT

  • As simple as a single upload…

    Your proposal may consist of a single Proposal attachment.

    If you use a sponsor system that lets you export the complete proposal as a single PDF (such as NSF), or prepare as one PDF to email/upload in their system, then you can upload that file to your KC proposal for internal review and retention.Example of an NSF FastLane export:

    QC #33 May 2020 Narrative Guide for KC Proposals at MIT

  • Or require multiple, specific types

    Example of an NIH Fellowship proposal.

    The same number of uploads are required in Workspace or ASSIST.

    QC #33 May 2020 Narrative Guide for KC Proposals at MIT

  • KC attachments for any proposal

    Every proposal has access to use these ‘always’ available attachment types.

    Proposal Personnel Internal

    Best practices for narrative attachment type selection. If needed, these allow multiples of the same type. Just add a unique description to inform reviewers of the content of that upload.

    QC #33 May 2020 Narrative Guide for KC Proposals at MIT

  • Attachments specific to S2S

    There are many KC attachment types that are specific for system-to-system submission to Grants.gov.

    The number and type of uploads are defined by forms selected by the sponsor, and would require the same number attachments in the sponsor’s system.

    But in KC, S2S proposals benefits from:

    • Prepopulated fields like address details, MIT DUNS number, names of approvers, budget details, and much more

    • Institutional approvers have access to view the proposal details

    • One approval, One submittal : prepared, reviewed, approved & submitted in one system.

    QC #33 May 2020 Narrative Guide for KC Proposals at MIT

  • Attachments

    Proposal docs are destined for the sponsor;

    Personnel for S2S;

    Internal for MIT use

    User Attached uploads are used

    ONLY for s2s submission

    Complianceuploads uploads are used for NIH s2s submission

    Subaward

    form uploads are used primarily for
