Once your information is entered via the NOI portal, a College of Arts and Science Office of Research grant manager will contact you and assist with the preparation and submission of your application.
- For standard, single-investigator applications, please submit the above form to our office at least three weeks prior to the sponsor’s due date.
- For broader applications, such as multi-investigator, multi-project, or trans-institutional research, please submit the above form to our office at least six weeks prior to the sponsor’s due date.
Proposal Timeline and Submission Policy
REVIEW AND APPROVAL
For each proposal submitted by Vanderbilt on behalf of a faculty member or student, a separate internal record is created in the university’s electronic application and routed for internal approvals.
Once the departmental or A&S grant manager routes the internal proposal record, each department and school included in the proposal will electronically review and approve it prior to the proposal reaching the A&S Office of Research.
The A&S Office of Research reviews and approves each of these internal proposal records on behalf of the college.
