Research and Sponsored Projects Manual (RSP)

RSP 302: Proposal Processing and Submission

Purpose

To secure appropriate authorization of formal, continuation, supplemental, and revised proposals for projects to be conducted under the purview of the university

Source

Office for Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (ORSPA)

Applicability

All proposals for instruction, research, public service, scholarly relationships, or creative or other academic projects that are submitted to organizations outside ASU and are subject to regulatory or sponsor requirements, except:

1. proposals and applications for student financial aid without sponsor reporting or deliverables
2. procurement of supplies and services through Purchasing and Business Services
3. unrestricted gift solicitations under the purview of the Development Office

   or

4. informal proposals that do not involve a commitment of university resources or an institutional endorsement and are not expected to directly result in an award.

Policy

All proposals for external sponsored support that are subject to regulatory or sponsor restrictions and that involve a commitment of university resources must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate academic and administrative unit officials prior to submission to sponsors.

If external proposals are submitted without proper review and approvals prior to submission, any resulting award acceptance is dependent upon completion of the standard internal approval process.

For more information on how RSP policies are implemented during each phase of a project, see the ORSPA Web site.
