ROUTE A PROPOSAL FOR APPROVAL
- Check that all sections/documents are complete
- The department | college | center research administrator initiates routing
- The department | college | center research administrator develops the approval workflow for all investigators, their chairs and deans
- Proposals are routed electronically through the Research Portal
- OSP is the last step in the workflow
Check your department | college | center research administrator to determine who should be entered into the approval workflow for a proposal in the Research Portal.
Log into the Research Portal:
- Select “OSP” from the left menu and click on “Create a submission.”
- Select the “Proposals” form from the drop-down list and complete the various sections (many will autofill from Cayuse424 entries)
- On the “Signoffs and Approvals” tab, enter the names of the PI, each investigator, and each Chair and Dean who must authorize submission
- The P.I. provides the first approval and submission action
- The form will automatically route to the next approvers as each approves and submits, eventually arriving at OSP
- Concurrent with the form, notify OSP of its submission via email.
Proposals to individual Georgia State University faculty members that are submitted by the faculty member directly to external funding agencies should be routed through the department and college using the Individual Routing Form. These proposals (called individual awards) are those where the faculty member is the applicant and potential direct recipient of the award (e.g., most fellowships). Such proposals, and subsequent awards, need to be tracked for reporting purposes. For proposals that involve release from university obligations during the academic year, the routing and approval of the proposal represents a commitment on the part of the chair and dean to allow such release.
At the time of an award, faculty members also need to follow official college procedures to obtain a professional leave (paid or unpaid), when applicable. Award notices should also be sent to the college dean’s office so proposal success rate can be tracked.
Each college dean’s office will retain the approved routing form, with supporting documentation. The dean’s office will be responsible for maintaining records on both proposals and awards and send the information to Georgia State’s associate vice president for research for tracking purposes.
