Office of 赞助项目 and Research

赞助项目办公室 & Research (OSPR) provides pre-award support for all sponsored activities. Marian University faculty members have been recipients of grants from major federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), 美国国立卫生Research院, 和你.S. 美国鱼类和野生动物管理局, 还有很多非联邦赞助商, including the American Osteopathic Association, 印第安纳科学院, American Association of 大学 of 整骨疗法的医学, 还有很多其他的.

The first step in working 与 OSPR is to identify the funding opportunity. Once the funding opportunity has been identified, it is critical to read the Request for Proposals (RFP), 资助机会公告(FOA), and other announcements and guidelines to ensure that Marian, the principal investigator/project director (PI/PD), 并且项目都是合格的. OSPR will assist 与 questions related to eligibility, scope of work, and other issues. Faculty should contact OSPR for administrative support as soon as possible. This time allows the faculty member and OSPR to assess eligibility, 写强有力的项目描述, 获得预算援助. 

We will schedule a proposal kick-off meeting as soon as eligibility and submission plans are confirmed. 在这次会议上, faculty will receive a checklist 与 all required components of the proposal submission, as well as a budget template and any other forms templates that the sponsor provides. Workload will also be discussed in conjunction 与 budget planning to ensure that the faculty member has sufficient time to complete the project relative to existing university teaching and professional commitments.

Between the kick-off meeting and proposal submission, faculty members will work closely 与 Miss Beltzhoover on the budget, 应用程序组件, and internal effort certification and routing forms. Proposals will be submitted at least one business day prior to the sponsor deadline.

When an application is approved for funding, the sponsor will send an award letter or packet to the PI and OSPR. It is important that the PI/PD read the award letter carefully to fully understand the terms and conditions of the grant. The award letter will include reporting deadlines, 格兰特的限制, 项目期限为资金, and other information necessary for grant management. PIs/PDs should also meet 与 OSPR to carefully review the award terms and to address questions related to the budget modification, 招聘项目人员, 管理开支. If the application funded is non-federal and requires Marian University signatures (PI/ OSPR and/ or Provost), all parties must confirm understanding and approval of the terms in the award prior to execution.

在接受奖项时, OSPR will submit an account set-up request to the Finance Office so that the PI receives a sponsored projects account in MUHub, as well as a Project ID for purchasing purposes.

Throughout the lifecycle of the award, OSPR will be the official point of contact 与 the sponsor. OSPR will also facilitate ongoing communication between the PI and the Finance Office to monitor spending on sponsored awards. 最后, OSPR will facilitate all report submissions and will work 与 the 业务 and Finance offices to ensure timely and accurate payments from the sponsored award.
