含羞草社区 Grant Process

After pre-proposal approval, the PI/PD聽completes a Grant Proposal to MWSU Grants Office before official submission to the funding agency.聽The online聽聽(MWSU dynamic form) needs to be submitted聽at least two weeks before聽the actual submission date to the funding agency. This form requires the final completed proposal, along with the final budget as attachments. Once this form and the relevant documents are submitted, no major changes may be made to the proposal by the investigator/researcher. If this timeline is not feasible due to extenuating聽circumstances, please reach out to Dr. Roy (troy1@missouriwestern.edu) to discuss options, as soon as possible.

Final submission of the grant to the appropriate agency can only take place after the Final Proposal has been approved by authorized personnel.

If the proposal requires submission by the MWSU AOR, for example an NSF proposal, then the final completed proposal [linked to any collaborator(s)], including all the required documents needs to be shared with the AOR at least 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and holidays) prior to the actual due date for submission, as listed by the granting agency

Faculty and staff are expected to adhere to the institutional policies in regard to copyright laws and copyrightable work. This expectation applies to generating project proposals for funding, the reporting of project data, and the preparation of manuscripts for possible publication. These policies are explained in detail in the Western Policy Guide.

If the proposed project involves human subjects or the use of vertebrate animals, the protocol must be reviewed and approved by the Committee on the Use of Human Subjects in Research (CUHSR) or the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) before the proposal can be submitted for administrative endorsements.聽 Many federal grants also now require that any students paid for by the grant receive training in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR). Be sure to plan the proposal writing process so that the appropriate committee has sufficient time to schedule a meeting to review your proposal. See http://www.missouriwestern.edu/orgs/human_subs/ or /acadaff/iacuc/聽for further details.
