Question about Internal Grant Approval Processes Jeffrey Gayton 13 May 2020 11:23 EST
Greetings. I’m relatively new to my position and have been lurking on this list for awhile. It’s been a real education reading everyone else’s questions and the generous and thoughtful answers so may of you provide. I have a question about how your internal grant application approval processes work. In my shop, every grant application must be approved by the Provost. If you have something similar, I’d really like to know the following: 1. What information about the grant do you send for approval? 2. How long before the application deadline do you need to ask for approval? Here’s the situation I’m dealing with. Our inherited process is that we send a complete, ready-to-go grant application to the Provost, and I’m getting pushback on the amount of time the Provost is getting to approve. She’s currently asking for two weeks to review a complete grant application, which seems unreasonable to me. From my perspective, we can either send the Provost a proposal summary two weeks in advance, or deal with last-minute approvals if the Provost wants to see a complete grant package. Thanks in advance for any shared wisdom you can provide. – Jeff Dr. Jeffrey T.
