SPH ORS Grant Intake Form
Complete this form to request Pre-award Proposal Development Support from SPH Office of Research Services (ORS). SPH ORS provides strategic pre-award support for major federal grants housed in SPH (or similar competitive grants from other sponsors). Review the
pre-award services table in the
SPH Grant Toolbox to confirm your request should be directed to SPH-ORS. Grants housed in non-SPH units and contracts should be directed to your division contacts.
SPH ORS requires advance notice of
at least 8 working weeks prior to the sponsor deadline to be added to the schedule. The recommended notice time is
8-10 weeks for standard federal projects (e.g. R21, R01)
or earlier for complex proposals (e.g. center or training grants).
Grant requests with less than 6 weeks notice require approval from the Associate Dean for Research.
University holidays are not included when counting "working" weeks--exclude holidays such as winter break when determining if a request requires approval.
