OSP: Submitting a Proposal

The College of Science grant support services team, part of the Office of Sponsored Programs Support Center, provides faculty and staff with professional, client-centered support and administrative expertise in the management of grant proposals. Our primary responsibilities include:

• Assisting faculty with proposal review and submission
• Developing proposal budgets
• Ensuring that proposal documents are compliant with sponsor requirements

Getting Started

• PI Certification is required for all faculty and staff who will be submitting proposals

• Request a username for InfoEd, NSF Fastlane, NIH eRA Commons or NASA NSPIRES

• File your conflict of interest disclosure, per Clemson University policy

Routing and Submission

To ensure accurate and timely submissions, the College of Science requires that all related proposal information and documentation be submitted to Pre-Award staff at least four business days in advance of the proposal deadline for internal routing. If there are subcontracts on the proposal, that documentation must be submitted ahead of the four-day deadline. Proposal documents should be in final or nearly final form and free of obvious errors, markups or missing sections.

All documents must be in final form, ready for submission and submitted to Pre-Award no later than 9 a.m. on the sponsor due date.
