A grant application is considered Final when it has been reviewed and approved through electronic signatures by the Principal Investigator’s (PI's) sub-department, department and college, and ORSP with all requested corrections made. This process begins when the PI signs-off electronically for institutional review.
Final grant applications must be received by ORSP 48 hours (2 business days) before the published application deadline.

The goal of ORSP review is to ensure adherence with application guidelines and federal, state, funding agency, and campus guidelines.
ORSP grants administrators need time to provide a thorough review of each application.
Investigators need time to correct applications based on ORSP review. ORSP workflow efficiency and effectiveness is reduced when proposals are not submitted in a timely fashion.
