Fiscal Officers, Chairs, Deans, Unit Heads

This fall, faculty will submit proposals to OVPR's grant programs through the Internal Funding Programs System. Proposals from faculty in your department will route to you for approval. These proposals will appear in your "Action List" and you will be notified by email.

Please open and review each proposal from your Action List, particularly the budget. Changes to the budget should be re-uploaded as a new "Note"/attachment. [For Digital Arts & Humanities Fellowship proposals, please review the course release requested.]

In the “Financial Officer Section”  (under “Attachment Type”), please check that the network ID for the Department Chair/School Dean is correct.  If the Department Chair/School Dean network ID is incorrect, please change it to route the document to the correct person for final approval.

The proposal should also include a letter of support from the department chair, dean, or unit head.

When you are ready to approve the budget, you can use the "approve" button at the bottom of the page to route the proposal to the department chair, dean, or unit head for final approval. If you have received verbal approval from the chair, dean, or unit head, you can select "yes" next to "Verbal approval received?", enter the appropriate network ID, and route the proposal on to OVPR.

If you cannot approve the budget/proposal, please click "return to previous". This will allow the applicant to make changes to resolve budget issues, etc. and to re-submit the application. If you click "disapprove", the document will be cancelled and the applicant will have to re-submit an entirely new application form.
