Proposals
Lakeside Proposal Submission Policy:
The Lakeside Office of Research Services is responsible for the submission of proposals for external funding for the Lakeside campuses. ORS is subject to numerous sponsor and institutional policy requirements, including but not limited to those set forth in the OMB Uniform Guidance. ORS staff need sufficient time to verify compliance with sponsor and institutional policies and ensure an overall level of quality assurance prior to application deadlines, and to allow time for the necessary university approvals.
A completed application package must be submitted to ORS three (3) working days prior to the submission deadline. This allows all necessary approvals to be completed by the required submission date.
Proposals that do not meet the deadlines established in this policy may still be allowed to move forward with submission after consultation with the Vice Provost for Research and/or the Provost.

There are several internal services available to you as you prepare your proposal submissions. If you’re new to the process, please take the time to read through the instructions below.
- Contact your designated Research Administrator (RA) via the ORS Research Administrator Listing as soon as you plan on starting a proposal. Your RA will provide details on all of the assistance that ORS can offer you. If your proposal is being submitted to a corporation or private foundation, your RA will coordinate the proposal submission with the office of Corporate and Foundation Relations.
- If you have not done so already, please visit the Cayuse page. Cayuse is an electronic research administration (eRA) system that is new to the institution. Your RA can also answer any questions you may have about this system.
- Have your RA review and approve documentations before it is printed for signatures. ORS is happy to obtain all signatures for you, but you are welcome to discuss other options for this process with your RA.
- To ensure that ORS has sufficient time to review your proposal, including the budget calculations, please complete all paperwork and send a completed draft of your proposal at least five business days before the submission deadline. For proposals to private sponsors, please contact your Research Administrator at least two weeks in advance of the deadline to allow time for coordination with the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations.
