Are you thinking of submitting a grant proposal – start early! – even if you are just thinking about submitting a proposal in the near future (say next few months) – please talk with one of us.

As you plan to prepare and submit proposals for sponsored research and other funding opportunities, please remember that the process requires an internal review and approval routing (UWT) AND central Office of Sponsored Programs (UWS) review and approval before submission, therefore:

For simple, straightforward proposals, please inform the Office of Research your intentions at MINIMUM 2 weeks/10 business days in advance.

For complex proposals, please inform the Office of Research your intentions at MINIMUM 3 weeks/15 business days in advance. 

What Comprises a Complex Proposal? A proposal is complex if it includes any one of the following elements: 

  • Cost Share, Subcontracts, Consultants, Vendors and New Proposals, Less than the Federally Negotiated IDC Rate;
  • OR, if it includes any two of these elements: Submission of Proposal on Sponsor Website, Multiple or Complex Sponsor Templates, Co-PI’s outside of [UWT]

Please start by filling out the Proposal Support Request Form below with information about a proposal you plan to prepare and the Office of Research will reach out to you to set a meeting to review requirements, budget and timelines.

We are here to assist you through the proposal process and make it as smooth as possible!

If you have any questions, please email uwtor@uw.edu.
