In collaboration with the Office for Sponsored Programs (OSP), FORA supports the internal proposal review and submission process by providing proposal resources, ensuring adherence to sponsor guidelines and University policies, and advising on compliance with sponsor terms and conditions as well as University and school policies. 

When planning an application for funding, internal or external, please complete the Proposal Submission Form and a member of the Proposal Development Team will be in touch within one business day to assist you.

The FORA Pre-Award team will also review and approve applications that meet the FORA Review Criteria during OSP’s 5-day internal submission review period. FORA will serve as the Dean Designee Signatory, signing off on behalf of the school when required.
