Tips to keep in mind when planning a submission
1. You are not alone-putting together a grant is a team effort– PI: working/editing science, finalizing details with collaborators – Dept Admin and/or OPD: developing budget, completing admin sections, completing/routing internal documents,
uploading pieces into application, routing to OSP– OSP: conducts final review and submission of application*
*all applications for external funding need to be approved by OSP prior to submission
2. Plan ahead- At a minimum, BU OSP deadline is 5 business days for the complete application– If planning to submit for the February 5th NIH deadline, the grant will need to be finalized by January 29th– Do you have a subcontract? Consultants? Collaborators? Additional paperwork is required from them which takes
time
3. Discuss your project with your Dept. chief/chair - They need to approve it before OSP can submit, especially if there is a proposed cost-share, require additional space….etc
4. Discuss your application with colleagues- They can be great resource for boiler plate information (resources, equipment, data sharing…etc) and help critique your science
