C&G Services

Prepare proposal for submission to Office of Research Administration (ORA). Luddy Contracts and Grants should be notified via email to sicegrnt@indiana.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of the sponsor’s due date. The complete proposal is due to ORA by 9 a.m. four (4) business days before the sponsor’s due date.  Sponsored Research Programs: Internal Submission Deadline Policy  SPA-11-025. Abiding by these internal deadlines helps to ensure a successful proposal submission and avoids negative impacts on other faculty submitting proposals caused by the diversion of staff resources to support late proposals.

• Collection of administrative documents (example: Biosketch, Current and Pending, Facilities Statement, Postdoc Mentor Letter)
