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.

The proposal library maintained by the Division of Research contains successful proposals for a variety of sponsors. UMD faculty and staff may request copies of these proposals to use in developing their proposals for sponsored research.
