The OER Pre-Award office comprehensively supports faculty throughout the grant proposal process\u2014from initial planning to final submission. Pre-Award staff provide expert guidance in identifying relevant funding opportunities, developing competitive budgets, and coordinating proposal components across multiple stakeholders.<\/p>\n

The first step in the proposal process is to complete an Intent to Submit Form.<\/strong> This form initiates internal coordination, allows OER to allocate appropriate support resources, and ensures alignment with university and sponsor deadlines. Faculty are encouraged to engage OER’s Pre-Award office early to fully leverage available resources and to facilitate timely, compliant proposal submissions.<\/p>\n

About Proposal Support<\/h2>\n

The OER Pre-Award office at the University of Florida\u2019s College of Education provides structured, start-to-finish support for faculty seeking external funding. The pre-award process is a collaborative effort that requires proactive engagement from Principal Investigators (PIs), OER Pre-Award staff, and various university offices to ensure timely and compliant proposal submissions.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Confirming eligibility and identifying appropriate funding opportunities.<\/li>\n
  • Securing school director approval before proposal preparation begins.<\/li>\n
  • Submitting an Intent to Submit Form at least 10 business days prior to the OER\u2019s internal deadline to initiate proposal support.<\/li>\n
  • Utilizing OER Pre-Award\u2019s proposal resources, including boilerplate documents, budget justifications, and templates.<\/li>\n
  • Assessing project needs, such as personnel, equipment, travel, and other costs.<\/li>\n
  • Following sponsor and university guidelines carefully during proposal preparation.<\/li>\n
  • Meeting all internal deadlines and promptly responding to OER communications.<\/li>\n
  • Certifying the final proposal in UFIRST after a thorough review for accuracy and completeness.<\/li>\n
  • Updating OER on proposal status (awarded, withdrawn, or pending) after submission.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The process involves a sequence of coordinated steps:<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. PI identifies the funding opportunity.<\/li>\n
    2. PI secures school director approval.<\/li>\n
    3. PI submits the Intent to Submit Form.<\/li>\n
    4. OER assigns a Research Administrator (RA) and Research Coordinator (RC) to assist.<\/li>\n
    5. PI prepares required documents.<\/li>\n
    6. PI certifies the proposal in UFIRST.<\/li>\n
    7. Director and Associate Dean provide final approval.<\/li>\n
    8. RA submits the proposal to the Division of Sponsored Programs (DSP).<\/li>\n
    9. DSP submits the proposal to the sponsor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \n
      • Intent to Submit Form: Must be submitted at least 10 business days before OER Pre-Award\u2019s deadline.<\/li>\n
      • Additional Proposal Support Requests: Also required at least 10 business days prior to OER Pre-Award\u2019s deadline.<\/li>\n
      • OER Pre-Award Proposal Deadline: Submit-ready proposals must be provided to OER Pre-Award by 9:00 AM at least 3 business days before DSP\u2019s deadline.<\/li>\n
      • DSP Deadline: Proposals must be submitted to DSP by 9:00 AM one business day before the sponsor\u2019s deadline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        For large-scale submissions (e.g., IES or NSF), OER Pre-Award may establish earlier deadlines to accommodate volume and ensure timely review.[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"parent":24409,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-84","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nProposal Support -
