BUDGET DEVELOPMENT
ORS provides support for proposal development and submission to PIs and their departmental research administrators. PIs are asked to work with their department grant administrator when possible. Department grant administrators will then be in contact with the ORS team.

The pre-award team also provides support for these additional grant activities:
No Cost Extension (NCE)
If a project’s end date is approaching but the principal investigator (PI) identifies that the research needs to continue, a no-cost extension allows the end date to be extended. Depending on the award type and sponsor, a formal request may or may not be required to obtain the NCE.
Progress reports
Typically, sponsors require the PI to provide an annual progress report on the research. The next budget year of funding may depend on the progress report being filed, so it is important to get these done on time.
Final scientific and technical reports are the PI’s responsibility as well. Failure to submit the final report on time can jeopardize future funding from the sponsor for the entire institution. Annual and final financial reports are the responsibility of the RSP post award accountant assigned to the award.
PROPOSALS
While PIs should work with their research administrator on proposal budget development, if your department doesn’t have a research administrator, L&S Research Services can assist. Contact us if you need help. To ensure accuracy and to avoid costly mistakes, L&S Research Services reviews and approves all proposal budgets prior to proposal submission. Please keep in mind proposal budgets are due 5 days in advance of the deadline to allow time for proper review and correction of any identified problems.
