The grant application submission process requires the participation primarily of the department, the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) and the Grants Management Office (GMO). At times, it could involve other departments of the institution.

All applications, including consortium arrangements, submitted for extramural funding, regardless of the mechanism of submission or the sponsoring agency, should be VALIDATED by GMO and REVIEWED, APPROVED and SUBMITTED by OSP.

The "Intent to Submit" form is the first step in this process. It's purpose is to:

1. Gather preliminary information about an upcoming proposal submission
2. Inform the appropriate persons that you are applying for a grant either as MSM being the prime submitter or as being the sub-recipient with another entity.
3. Alert OSP and GMO of the pending submission for workload balance.
4. Capture pertinent information for data analysis (research areas, types of proposals and sponsors, etc.)

Peer-Review is required if:

1. This submission is for an R01 or equivalent application and this is your first time submitting.
2. You were not successful over the past two years with a proposal submission.
3. This is a limited submission: a funding opportunity where the sponsor restricts the number of applications/proposals that an institution may submit.

Once you click "Submit" a copy of the Intent to Submit Form will be routed to the following persons/units as appropriate:

• If the agency type is Private - Office of Institutional Advancement: sfisher@msm.edu, mthomas@msm.edu and jrosenberg@msm.edu
