Pre-Award Online Submission Help
To enhance pre-award research administration, the Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) created the OSP Helpdesk as a central point of service to get assistance with pre-award submissions. As a technical resource, in addition to Pod staff support, the OSP pre-award team is able to provide guidance with online proposal submissions in key areas:
- Sponsor- specific requirements within the funding announcement/program solicitation.
- Online registration for sponsor portals when required.
- Clarification about myResearch funding proposals required for internal routing and approval (pre-proposals, supplements, etc.).
Please contact the Pre-Award Specialist through the OSP Helpdesk by selecting "Pre-Award" as the "Type of question" for questions related to pre-award activities. Our goal is to reply within 1 business day.
