  3. Provide a summary page and final budget to the Chairperson, Dean and SRO Director at least two weeks prior to the deadline using the Grant Route form .
  4. Contact the Sponsored Research Office (X7316) to determine the submission date/time.
  5. Check, double check and check again that the proposal is in compliance with the guidelines!

Government Submissions

All government agencies are using Grants.gov, including NSF, as their clearinghouse for grant announcements and submissions. You can find funding sources, download program applications/guidelines and submit proposals using this site. You do not need to become a registered user to use Grants.gov because Hope College is registered as an institution. All proposal submissions must be handled by the SRO Director. If you would like to learn how to use the site, contact the SRO Director, Tracey Nally.

Foundation Submissions

Prior to any proposal submissions to foundations, the primary investigator (PI) must receive permission from the SRO. If permitted, please follow their guidelines. Each foundation has different submission requirements. More foundations are requiring electronic submissions but many still require a hard copy.
