Proposal
Budget Preparation Guidelines
|
1. Proposals
from the University are submitted to the sponsor through the University
of South Carolina Research Foundation.
The only exceptions are proposals to be funded by a South Carolina State Agency,
SCUREF, or those sponsors whose guidelines indicate that the application
must come from the University.
|
2. Budget
must be prepared in whole dollar amounts.
|
3. Refer
to the External Agency Forms and Guidelines
for proposal preparation.
For Example:
- Electronic (Grants.gov, Fastlane,
etc.) vs. hard copy
- Definition of budget categories
- Format & forms for budget
- Allowable costs
|
4. Check
SAM Pre-Award Services SCRF/USC Business Information web page for Sponsor requested institutional information.
|
5. SAM
requires a minimum of three (3) business days to review a proposal
in order to insure successful submission prior to sponsor deadline.
|
6. Application
Instructions/Guidelines: If the proposal is being submitted
to a non-federal agency or to a special "one-time
project" within a federal agency, please send SAM the application instructions three
(3) days in advance of your proposal. This is particularly important for foundations,
professional societies, smaller special interest organizations, industry programs,
or for RFP's. Receiving the information in advance will enable SAM to review such things
as allowable overhead rates, special restrictions, unusual contract terms, and
other unique requirements and to ask any questions prior to proposal submission. This
will allow for a more speedy processing of the proposal.
7.
If USC is to be a subcontractor to another entity, a proposal
must be submitted through the Office of Sponsored Awards Management
to the proposed grantor. Guidelines from the original funding
agency must be followed. |
