 Well, thank you. I am Marie Slanger, and I'm in the sponsored program office, and I'm the budget from program officer. So I review your proposals with these proposal budgets when you sign them in. And I also help you get to the electronic submission process at thefitsagrants.gov or NSF, the Smith-Bosch, the Moron Office as well. But what I'm going to talk to you about first this morning is more or less the timeline and the flow of what happens once your proposal gives to our office. And K put together a timeline, which, I get out of your pen, if you have time, so bring it up on the screen. I'm on the phone right now. Yep. Okay, and this is on the forms page. That you can follow along. Basically, the flow chart is trying to help you prepare as you're writing your proposal, giving you a timeline of how to back up from the actual submission date of your proposal. So you really need to allow plenty of time to write your proposal, get it submitted to the ad budget office, and then it will get over to our office. We require three days once it gets to our office. And I believe all of you would like a minimum of three days and longer if it's an all-time PI proposal. So once it gets through the approval process of the ad college, it will come over to our office. And K's passing out the handouts, so I'm not going to go through the flow chart here for you. And I've put through a flow chart because there seems to be a lot of confusion as to what actually happens to your proposal once it leaves your desk and it gets through ad budget office and it goes over to our office. So we require three days prior to the actual submission date for us to go through. And we will require that you submit to us the proposal transmittal form, which I'll show you in a moment. A statement of work, your budget, and your justification. If there's any sub-awards, any sub-budgets plus a letter from the sub-agency where you're planning to write a sub-contract with, we would like to have a letter from that agency approving their work on this project. And also reviewing their budget, so we want their budget as well. Their statement of work and their letter of approving that they're going to be part of this proposal. And any other forms that would require an authorized university official to sign that Amy would have to sign when they get their, such as compliance, any reps, inserts, or if there's an application page on your proposal package that needs to be signed by an authorized university official, we need all of that at the same time. And then once we receive that, we will then review your budget, we'll review it for indirect costs, we'll review it to make sure it's policy, university policies, cost policies, and we'll look at all forms that you've submitted to make sure that they're completed correctly, like our DUNS number, our tax ID, authorized university official, anything that needs to be completed on it. Then we will sign the proposal transmittal sheet and any documents. We'll send that back to you via email, usually as a scanned copy, unless you're asking for the original signed documents back. And if you need those, then put a note on it when it comes over. And at that point, you'll get the proposal transmittal form signed, and you're to keep that for your internal records, and then you can forward everything on to the sponsor. Now, if it's, which is the normal, if it's something that you're the PIs submitting back to the sponsor, that's the normal way of submitting it, so you'll get it back and you send it in, we don't. Then if it's an electronic submission, such as Grants.gov or National Science Foundation, we submit those from our office, but you need to hit Grants.gov, I would imagine, is what most of you would work with as opposed to National Science Foundation. You would submit to us electronically the completed Grants.gov application as an attachment, along with your transmittal form, you still need your original transmittal form. And then we will go through and review that, and then we will submit it from our office electronically and let you know a tracking number when we're finished. One thing to keep in mind if you are submitting something electronically through Grants.gov is don't do anything funny with the file names on the files that you upvote, because if you put dashes or if you put symbols in there, Grants.gov is going to spit it back and then we have to resubmit. So after submission, if it's funded, then once we receive your award documents, then we will submit everything that came in that original proposal file along with the award documents to grant the contract to County and that's how you will end up with a project number to be able to access your funding. If it's not funded, we appreciate it if you get word that something's not funded and you will notify us so that we can change it in our database and our records. If it's not funded after probably two years that we haven't heard anything, then we will destroy the documents. And we'll just keep the original proposal transmittal form on file. And I'm going to just briefly show you the proposal transmittal form. This is a form I'm sure most of you are familiar with and they're basically, it gives us the information. It's our internal tracking system. So it ties everything together. You'll get a proposal number up in this column right here that will be an FAR. So if you have to refer to a proposal, it's good if you can give us that number when you're doing that. It helps, because we have over 1200 proposals submitted every year. The other thing on the transmittal form that I would want to caution you about is if you're planning to do a subcontract, either receiving one from someone or you're issuing one, it's important that you pay attention to these responses and check them. And then if there is cost share required, that's important, but you let us know there. And then this box over here tells us where this cost share was from. And if you do have cost share on it, we would like to have, if it's departmental or college, we need a letter from your department share or your college dean. Or if it's coming from some other place, we need to be able to follow that in the proposal budget.
