At your institution, do ALL proposals involving federal, state, local support c
ome through your office.  My curiosity lies with proposals submitted by upper a
dministration - areas such as the President's Office, Provost's Office, and Adm
inistrative Vice President etc.   Will the staff members submit proposals throu
gh your Sponsored Projects Office or will they prepare and submit on their own
only to let you know that a proposal has been submitted when a problem arises o
r if an award is made.
