Assisstance from the SCS Business Office

If you have any questions or would like assistance with proposal processing, please contact or Jenny Cox (244-3915; ), Kathy Dams (244-2339; ), or Holly Spinner (244-1945; ). They review/assist with the budget, the cover sheet, and the UI transmittal form.

The UI Grants and Contracts Office requires at least 5 working days to process proposals with 1st and 15th of the month deadlines, and 3 working days to process for other deadlines. Our office may require one additional day depending on the volume of proposals received, and rather or not we have reviewed the budget prior to receiving the final proposal.

All paper and electronically submitted proposals to all private and federal agencies must be routed through our office. A UI transmittal form signed by the PI and the Department Head is required for both types.

Grants and Contracts will be happy to conduct preliminary reviews, but those must come in prior to the internal deadline. After that, the volume of proposals in their office prevents them from being able to provide this service.

Please remember to send a copy of any proposal guidelines you are working on with the proposal. An advance copy is even better, if you can.

Thank you for your cooperation.
