OSRP provides comprehensive services for IIT faculty and staff on the preparation, review, approval, submission, management, non-financial reporting requirements, and close out procedures of sponsored project proposals. Our services extend to providing oversight for the pre-administration of awards for grants, contracts and other sponsored-related award instruments for federal and non-federal projects, including industry agreements.

The following are key steps in the proposal preparation and submission process:

• Identifying Funding Opportunities
• Preparing a Proposal
• Developing a Budget
• Submitting a Proposal

While OSRP is committed to helping all IIT principal investigators (PIs) prepare and submit successful proposals, OSRP prioritizes proposals that meet internal deadlines.
