Once  the proposal is submitted to ORSP, the Grants Accountant and the Project Coordinator will review it and the sponsor guidelines in order to make suggestions to make the proposal stronger. Both people will send the PI a written review and work closely with the PIs in order to correct the proposal and obtain any additional paperwork needed such as letters or support or collaboration agreements. The proposal is also reviewed to make sure that all conditions of the budget and narrative agree with OMB-A21 for allowable costs, and for compatiblity with the TAMUS system policies and University policies.

Once all parties agree that the proposal and budget are in the final version, and the Authorization Form has been signed by all necessary parties, the Director or the Project Coordinator will submit the grant to the funding agency. Once it is submitted and a confirmation is received (in the case of grants.gov), then the Project Coordinator will send an email to the PI.
