CONTRACTS AND GRANTS

ELECTRONIC PROPOSALS

ELECTRONIC DEADLINES: Whether you are preparing a manual or electronic proposal at UCSF, all proposals must be submitted to OSR no later than 9am four working days before the sponsor deadline for review and approval at OSR.

GRANTS.GOV

Grants.gov is the central portal that the federal government is implementing for grant submissions. Grants.gov is intended to be a simple, unified source to electronically find and apply for grant opportunities from all federal grant-making agencies.

  • First Time Users of Grants.gov: All first time users of Grants.gov should review the NIH Grants.gov training material at Grants.gov Training Material. While this material focuses on NIH applications, NIH has the most up-to-date training material on Grants.gov and this material is relevant to the electronic submission process that will be used by all government agencies as they transition to Grants.gov.

  • Additionally first time users of Grants.gov should become familiar with the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide which replaces the previously utilized PHS 398 application kit for electronic submissions.
