Authorized Signatures

The purpose of receiving proposal authorization two weeks prior to the submission deadline is to allow the administrators the opportunity to learn of any College commitments your project will require if you receive an award. Items of most concern are financial matches, continuing faculty/staff positions beyond the grant period and any course release time.

Authorization is received by using the grant route form which you attach to the summary page and final budget. The first individual to sign off on the proposal is your Chairperson who then sends it to the Dean. It must then be sent to the SRO who will route it to the V.P. Finance and Provost and President if applicable. Please do not contact or route any proposals or letters to the President, Provost or V.P. Finance. If computers are requested the SRO will also notify the Director of CIT for authorization.
