Introduction

The proposal submission process is multifaceted. This website outlines information and resources available to assist faculty interested in submitting a research proposal.

Writing a Proposal and Preparing a Budget
The University's Division of Research Development and Administration (DRDA) website provides helpful information on writing your proposal, determining the indirect cost rate, calculating graduate student stipend costs, preparing your proposal budget, and completing the electronic Proposal Approval Form (PAF) for signature.

Completing and Submitting a Proposal Approval Form
The Proposal Approval Form, or PAF, is the internal document the University uses to record the submission of a proposal. Among other things, it details the cumulative budget, cost sharing, indirect cost rate, and conflicts of interest. Please see the College of Engineering's Proposal Submission Timeline for internal deadlines to ensure that the proposal is submitted by the sponsor's proposal deadline as well as information on what documents you need to submit to the Associate Dean for Research and DRDA. Please visit the eRPM website to access the electronic Proposal Approval Form (PAF).

Cost-sharing on a Proposal
Sponsors sometimes require an institutional investment to show the University's commitment to a proposal. Please see the College of Engineering's procedures for requesting cost sharing for more information.

Research Center Proposal Preparation
Writing and preparing a research center proposal is complex. Please see the College of Engineering's Primer for Successful Center Initiation and Operation for information on resources available to faculty submitting a large center proposal.

NSF Broader Impacts
The NSF Broader Impacts Merit Criteria workshop  on Ocotber 28, 2009 presented an overview of the National Science Foundation’s Broader Impacts merit criteria and provided information on effective strategies and resources for addressing the Broader Impacts components of NSF grant proposals. Presentations by NSF staff discussed Broader Impacts guidelines, best practices, examples, and current trends at NSF regarding Broader Impacts evaluation criteria. To see the slides and learn more about the work of UM's Research Impact Team, please visit their website: http://www.drda.umich.edu/rit/.
