OSP is expecting higher than usual volumes for the Oct 1 NSF deadline and Oct 5 NH deadline.  NSF currently has 22 solicitations due Oct 1. 

Please submit a Proposal Review Form as soon as possible via the Research Management System (https://utdirect.utexas.edu/rms/index.WBX)

Required Items needed for approval:

1. Abstract/Project Summary
   
   
2. Final Budget
   
   
3. Final Budget Justification/Narrative

• Consultants - If consultants are listed on your budget (even if they are unpaid) a letter of commitment is required.
• Cost Share - If your budget includes cost share please include an Internal cost share form or signed commitment letter from the party committing the funds.
• Subcontracts - If your budget includes a subcontract OSP requires from your subcontractor institution's authorized official:
  1. a signed letter of commitment referencing:
     • their principal investigator
     • the project title
     • the amount of proposed budget
  2. Approved budget and budget justification
  3. Approved institutional specific statement of work

4. Solicitation/Guidelines - if you are responding to a request for proposal please provide the Opportunity Number, URL or upload the program announcement.

Note: Please allow OSP to submit your final proposal to the sponsor at least a day early. With the expected high volume FastLane and Grants.gov will be overloaded and slow, potentially causing proposals to be late.
