Institutional Approvals and Routing

Prior to proposal submission or contract acceptance the 文档 must be routed. The routing process serves to advise and inform academic administrators such as a department chair and college dean of possible future project activities of a faculty or staff member; it also ensures that all Indiana State University compliance requirements have been met.

什么是路由

建议 requesting funding from an external agency, 合同 with other institutions or companies, and other 协议 that commit ISU resources are routed on the following forms:

• 小马 Routing Form for Grants and 建议
•  Routing Form for Non-Sponsored 研究 Contracts and Agreements

最后 和/或定期 报告 which require the signature of an authorized official of the University must are routed using the ISU Routing Form for Grant and Contract Performance 报告:

•  报告路由表

如何路由

ISU uses the 小马424 software to enable grant submission for most federal grant proposal and 网络路由. Once registered into the 小马424 system an ISU administrator/faculty is able to apply his or her signature electronically for proposal approval.

何时路由

建议/合同 may not be submitted until all required approvals have been obtained; therefore it is best to start the process well before the proposal's due date. For routing purposes the budget should be in a close to final form, and the narrative can be in rough draft form. Reviewers should be able to get a clear understanding of the project and what institutional resources will be required.

Who is Included on Routing

A proposal/contract must include the approvals of each PI, Co-PI and Senior Personnel named on the project, in addition the 部门 Chair and Dean of College for each faculty/staff listed must also approve.

If the project requires support and/or services from other offices on campus (i.e. Office of Information 技术, Extended Learning, Center for Community Engagement, etc.) the director of the office must be included in the routing process.

Approvals from institutional compliance committees may be required prior to submission; it will depend on what the funding agency requires.

Compliance certification may take some time. Start the process early!

Please be aware that the Office of Contracts and Grants will not release any funds until all compliance issues have been satisfied.

Proposal will not be submitted until all required signatures have been obtained.
