Processes for Pre Award Support

iIMPACT projects and proposals (for all affiliated faculty)

• Periodically the SUAPP Preaward Coordinator (PAC) will send out funding opportunities via a newsletter from Grant Forward. In order to receive this newsletter, iIMPACT faculty and affiliates need to create an account with Grant Forward. Let your PAC or the SUAPP PAC know if you need help with your account.
• If you have preaward support, they will be the lead PAC for your iIMPACT proposal submissions. Ask your PAC to coordinate with the SUAPP PAC for any needed assistance/collaboration.
• When you create a Cayuse record, include the SUAPP PAC as “Proposal Editor.”
• Add iIMPACT as an affiliated unit on the first Cayuse screen. This will allow the iIMPACT and SUAPP teams to be aware of proposals and awards and track them for reporting.

This section applies for iIMPACT faculty who do NOT have their own preaward support and will be working with the SUAPP PAC for iIMPACT submissions.

• When you create a Cayuse record, include the SUAPP PAC as “Proposal Editor.”
• Add iIMPACT as an affiliated unit on the first Cayuse screen.
• The SUAPP PAC will need the contact information of any subawards, including the contact person and their institutional Office of Sponsored Programs or equivalent.
• Please communicate UofM’s deadlines to your collaborators so that they are aware of the timeframe SUAPP PAC will need to fulfill their requests.

Inform the SUAPP PAC as soon as you begin planning for an iIMPACT grant submission. The SUAPP PAC will work with you to establish a timeframe for the proposal submission that includes internal approvals and review by OSP prior to submission. The SUAPP Pre-Award Coordinator will work diligently with every PI to submit proposal on-time and with accuracy. However, if the following timeline is not followed, on-time submission cannot be guaranteed. In the event of multiple submissions during the same timeframe, PIs who follow the timeline below will be given preference.
