Effective December 1, 2021 OIBR welcomes all Affiliates (new and existing) and Distinguished Scholars to use our pre-award services to submit proposals of all types. However, we will no longer accept industry contracts unless the Principal Investigator has an active grant(s) already managed by OIBR and we are continuing our current policy of not accepting transfers from other colleges or departments or outside the university.
Anyone wishing to use OIBR services needs to give us at least one-month advance notice (no matter how small the proposal) of the intention to pursue a specific funding opportunity. In addition, all submission materials must be finalized 3 business days in advance of the proposal deadline. Please note that, if you notify the pre-award staff with less than a month notice, we may be unable to assist with the submission. This decision will be based primarily on our submission queue at the time of notice and the specifics of the funding opportunity.
