You Should Know. . .

The Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP) requires a lead time of 4 working days prior to the submission deadline to receive all materials for your proposal.  This will provide the staff with time to properly review the proposal and submit it prior to the funding agency's deadline.  If submission materials are not received 4 working days prior to the deadline, the ORSP cannot guarantee that your proposal will be successfully submitted. In addition, ORSP must receive a Grant Data Form, completed and signed by the PI, Co-PI's (if applicable), Chair/s, and Dean/s, prior to submission of the proposal.

If you have plans to submit a proposal to the NIH SCORE program, please send an email to scott.perez@csun.edu. We are limited to a maximum number (25) of individual SCORE awards/applications. The next submission date is May 25, 2012.

The Large Grants Policy has been revised for awards funded as of January 1, 2012. You may download the new policy at http://www.csun.edu/grip/research/Documents/LargeGrantPolicy1_1_12.pdf. Please be advised that it may take some time for our office to fully implement the changes. The Large Grant Policy was established through the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects as a means to return a portion of recovered indirect costs (aka F&A or Facilities and Administration costs) generated by externally funded grants and contracts to the principal investigators/project directors of those projects. The policy returns F&A in the form of release time to allow faculty “…to compete effectively for grant or contract support with peers at 'research institutions' who enjoy teaching loads considerably less than the standard CSU twelve unit teaching load.” 

As approved by DHHS, our Federal cognizant agency, Fringe Benefit Rates have changed as of July 1, 2011. You can view the current rates at http://www.csun.edu/sponsoredprograms/benefitrates.htm.

If a proposal you are submitting requires electronic submission through the grants.gov system, please contact the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects immediately at x2901 for special instructions. Please be aware that additional lead time is required for all grants.gov submissions. Please note that the university has a DUNS number and is already registered with grants.gov.

The Center for Scientific Review (CSR) is the portal for NIH grant applications and their review for scientific merit. CSR has produced a series of videos to give an inside look at how scientists from across the country review NIH grant applications for scientific and technical merit. New and established applicants will find insights and understanding that can empower them to improve the applications and increase their chances for receiving a more positive review. View the videos at http://cms.csr.nih.gov/ResourcesforApplicants/InsidetheNIHGrantReviewProcessVideo.htm.
