Proposals
Here, you will find many of the forms and short summaries of each that are required for proposals.
When submitting a proposal for review, include (at the minimum) **:
- Original proposal
- Draft science is not accepted when a proposal is submitted online by OSPIP via a Sponsor’s website
- If agreed to in advance by the OSPIP CO, draft science may be submitted with the original submission, with the final science forwarded to OSPIP 5 working days before the Sponsor’s deadline. The proposal may not be submitted on time if the final science is forwarded late.
- The original of the signed Sponsored Projects Proposal Form (SPPF) printed from RAPID
- Copy of the signed NEPA/CEQA Form
- A copy of the sponsor's guidelines (Solicitation, BAA, Program Announcement, Request for Applications, etc.)
- Additional documentation: Financial Conflict of Interest Disclosure Forms, etc.
- Important Background Information, Addresses, Subcontractor contacts
Budget Proposal Worksheet
Before a proposal is processed, there are several factors that must be taken into account. As a Principal Investigator, you must have a good idea of how much your project will cost, what kinds of equipment it will require, how much assistance you will approximately need, travel expenses, etc.
Before e-mailing a proposal specialist, please download and fill out the Budget Proposal Worksheet.
Filling this sheet out before hand will not only help your proposal specialist process various requests faster, but will also help you fill out multiple other forms later on with a better idea of what your project will cost.
700-U
This form must be filed by all persons employed by UC or CSU who have principal responsibility for a research project if the project is to be funded or supported, in whole or in part, by a contract or grant (or other funds earmarked by the donor for a specific research project or for a specific researcher) from a nongovernmental entity. Reporting requirements are outlined in Regulation 18755. This regulation provides that research funding by certain non-profit entities will not trigger disclosure. This regulation is available on the FPPC website.
The 700-U form can be found by clicking here
or visiting http://www.fppc.ca.gov/forms/700-11-12/700-U-11-12.pdf
SPPF
The Sponsored Project Proposal Form is a vital piece of a proposal. This form can be generated within the RAPID software. Make sure to use the correct SPPF, such as using continuation if you are working on an SPPF for a continuing project. The SPPF must be printed out from RAPID and should be signed at the time of turning in your proposal.
NEPA/CEQA
The NEPA/CEQA forms are required for proposals and are also created through the RAPID software. Make sure that this is also signed at the time of turning in the proposal.
Conflict of Interest (COI) Disclosure Form
State and Federal Law requires Conflict of Interest disclosures for certain sponsors.
