Tips to keep in mind when planning a submission 1. You are not alone-putting together a grant is a team effort PI: working/editing science, finalizing details with collaborators Dept Admin and/or OPD: developing budget, completing admin sections, completing/routing internal documents, uploading pieces into application, routing to OSP OSP: conducts final review and submission of application* *all applications for external funding need to be approved by OSP prior to submission 2. Plan ahead- At a minimum, BU OSP deadline is 5 business days for the complete application If planning to submit for the February 5th NIH deadline, the grant will need to be finalized by January 29th Do you have a subcontract? Consultants? Collaborators? Additional paperwork is required from them which takes time 3. Discuss your project with your Dept. chief/chair - They need to approve it before OSP can submit, especially if there is a proposed cost-share, require additional space .etc 4. Discuss your application with colleagues- They can be great resource for boiler plate information (resources, equipment, data sharing etc) and help critique your science
