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?

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)

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:

Or require multiple, specific types
Example of an NIH Fellowship proposal.
The same number of uploads are required in Workspace or ASSIST.

KC attachments for any proposal
Every proposal has access to use these ‘always’ available attachment types.

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.

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.
