- Gather required supplemental documents from investigators
- Create a first draft of some supplementary documents (e.g., Budget Justification)
- Ensure that all required documents are included for proposal submission
- Check proposal documents for sponsor compliance issues
- Upload final documents (e.g., to Kuali for S2S or NSF Research.gov) for submission to sponsor
- Proofread proposals (with sufficient lead time)
Post-award assistance examples:
- Walk through how Cognos reports track award spending
- Create budget revisions
