Pre-submission Review with Cayuse
Before a proposal is submitted to an external funding agency, the application must be approved through the University’s established procedure. Cayuse Online Routing is used to gather the approvals. By electronically approving the proposal in Cayuse, each signatory accepts accountability for the roles and actions assigned to them by the University, as described below.
Cayuse gathers information required for processing a grant or contract and electronic signatures showing the University’s support. Routing is required for every grant proposal or contract submitted to the Office of Research. If circumstances prevent online routing, ask the Office of Research for a paper form to circulate for signatures.
The routing process must be completed before the proposal can be submitted.
Electronic approval is required from the PI, other committed personnel such as co-PIs or Faculty Associates, and the department chair(s) and college dean(s) of the PI and any other committed personnel. Depending on the scope of the project other approvals (see below) may be necessary. All of the required approval signatures must be obtained before the proposal will be submitted to the funding agency.
