All sponsored project proposals and/or applications must receive review and approval by UNC Asheville administration prior to submission of the proposal to the funding agency (sponsor).
- The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) assists the principal investigator/project director (PI/PD) by reviewing the proposal for compliance with sponsor guidelines and university requirements.
- ORSP has the legal and fiduciary responsibility to ensure compliance with university, sponsor, state, and federal regulations, laws, and policies.
The full proposal must arrive at ORSP a minimum of five (5) full working days prior to submission deadline. This lead-time allows University administrators adequate time to review the sponsor’s requirements and the proposal. Further, any revisions to a previously submitted proposal must also receive a review by ORSP (and possibly others) prior to its submission to the sponsor.
