Executive Summary
The proposal intake form is a mechanism for principal investigators to notify the Pre-Award team of plans to submit a proposal to an external sponsor. The form communicates vital information such as:
1. Application requirements
2. External collaborators
3. Resources and services needed for the project
4. Research protocols and IRBs applicable to the project.
In addition, at the submission of the form, it will create a Google Drive team folder to house the working files, the routing forms, and the final forms to upload to the system. It is designed to minimize unnecessary back and forth communications between the PI and Pre-award by collecting as much required information upfront about an intended proposal. This information is used all the way to time of award and alerts the downstream staff of necessary tasks that may be needed in setting up an award properly. Furthermore, the form is used by the Pre-Award team to complete the official routing of the proposal through the University's Enterprise Research Administration System. By filling out the form in its entirety, it allows the Pre-award team to setup and process the proposal more quickly with the aim of submitting it with minimal disruptions and stress to all parties involved.
