Proposals must be routed through Kuali Research in most instances when being submitted through an electronic system and when signature by an Authorized Institutional Official is required. The PI should notify their Contract Administrator as soon as he or she is aware that the proposal is to be submitted. Some electronic systems, such as NSF's FastLane or Research.gov and NIH's eRA Commons require the PI to create accounts before using the system. The completed proposal should be submitted to ORA during the proposal.

ORA's Quick Reference Guide provides quick and easy to find information on preparing to apply for funding, developing your proposal, acquiring approvals, routing, and formal submission. The QRG can be downloaded in Word or PDF for easy access.

ORA offers training on using Kuali Research (KR) to find information about sponsored research awards and proposals. ORA also offers training on KR data, using Reports.umd.edu, and developing and submitting proposals using various electronic systems.
