URIC Proposal Intake Form

This form collects initial basic information on upcoming proposals to initiate URIC support of proposals. For guidance on routing proposals through URICs vs. Schools/Departments see: https://urica.northwestern.edu/sponsored-research-administration/proposal-institutecenter-or-department.html


Please note that we aim to complete all administrative components 5-business days in advance of submission date. The URIC team also requests that the PI be available on the planned day-of-submission, or a proxy is identified if that is not possible.


We appreciate receiving as much lead-time as possible for submissions, and general guidance on lead-time that will help ensure the best possible submission support is as follows:


- 3+ weeks for basic proposals

- 4+ weeks for proposals w/ subcontracts

- 5+ weeks for large-scale/complex proposals (e.g. cost-sharing, OSR legal review, industry partners)

Select from drop-down, if not listed select Other and specify in comments)
