Proposal Development and Submission Incentive Program

The purpose of this program is to provide faculty an incentive for the development and submission of a proposal for external funding. The incentive will be provided in the form of a task payment based on the requested amount in the external proposal. More detailed information can be found in the program guidelines.

This program is funded through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs and may be discontinued at any time. The incentive will be provided in the form of a task payment based on the requested amount in the external proposal, and may be split between multiple PIs when working on one proposal. Eligibility for this incentive is based on the scientific/scholarly/creative merit of the application;  evidence of appropriate preparation and planning; the financial outcome of the proposal such as size of request, the funding agency, amount of indirect costs allowed, length of project, etc.; adherence to the ORSP Timeline for Proposal Routing and Approval and submission requirements; and amount of revision needed in the case of revised applications. Proposals that do not meet the timeline for preparation and routing may be deemed as ineligible or receive a reduced incentive as determined by ORSP.

Please review the Proposal Development and Submission Incentive Program Guidelines for eligibility requirements and incentive amounts.
