OSRAA Proposals Team
The OSRAA Proposals Team works with PIs, department/college research administration staff (CARE team), and other units within the Division of Research & Innovation (DRI) to facilitate on-time and compliant proposal submissions to external sponsors (federal, state, and private). The electronic research administration system used at OSU for facilitating this pre-award work is Cayuse (Cayuse SP and Cayuse 424).
Our team is primarily responsible for:
- Guiding PIs on internal and sponsor pre-award policies and procedures
- Compliance review, feedback, and approval for all sponsored project proposals
- Serving as delegated Authorized Organizational Representatives (AORs) or Signing Officials (SOs) for pre-award documents (e.g., institutional letters, cover sheets, certifications, and subrecipient forms
- Submitting proposals on behalf of OSU through email or sponsor portals
- Reviewing and submitting letters of intent (LOIs) and pre-applications when AOR submission is required
- Reviewing and submitting post-submission (but pre-award) items such as Just in Time (JIT) documents, budget revisions, current and pending support updates, and representation and certification documents
