COLLABORATE WITH OSR EARLY

Get organized by thinking ahead about your upcoming applications and notify your OSR staff at least 30 days before the submission deadline for standard solicitations, at least 60 days before the submission deadline for large proposals and four-six months before submission deadlines for complex center grants, institutional training grants and cooperative agreements.

NEW OSR WEBSITE

Utilize the newly redesigned OSR website to find information and resources for each step of the Project Life Cycle and to find your OSR support staff by agreement type and/or your department or division.

OTHER SUPPORT AND BIOSKETCHES

As a reminder, new formats for NIH’s Biosketch and Other Support went into effect on January 25, 2022.   Don’t wait, update your documents now. Find training and other resources on the OSR webpages for NIH Biographical Sketch Format and Other Support. Not sure which disclosures to add and to which documents?  Check out these new disclosure tables from NIH and NSF.  

RECEIVE IMPORTANT EMAILS

Ensure you are receiving the important system-generated emails, so you do not miss any critical actions. Many of the systems we use at UCSF, including eProposal (iMedris) and CACTAS (Salesfoce), send auto-generated emails are identified as external senders. Check your “junk/spam” folder and emails from [email protected] for emails from [email protected] and [email protected]. Select “release and allow sender” in the emails sent from [email protected] so emails from that emails address will not be automatically quarantined.
