Proposal Review and Submission

Electronic Research Administration (eRA)

Electronic Research Administration (eRA) describes the philosophy of conducting Research Administration in an integrated and paperless environment. Wake Forest University Health Sciences utilizes the Huron Research Suite to manage all extramurally funded proposals and contracts. Learn more about acquiring institutional approval of your proposal in the required routing section.

Required Routing

For any proposal submission that seeks extramural funding, the Office of Sponsored Programs requires a complete routing package before the proposal or agreement can be assigned to the appropriate OSP Administrator for review or negotiation. Routing should be completed through the Huron Research Suite, 3 business days prior to the sponsor deadline for review. For questions related to required routing, please contact the Office of Sponsored Programs at 336-716-2382 or contact the Administrator who is assigned to your department.

Budget Preparation

Developing budgets for sponsored projects requires understanding the dynamics of the project, the activities to be performed, and how to determine and allocate the correct costs and fees for research activities. Review the resources below for guidance in preparing your budget.

Post-Submission

Prior to Award

Once Award Arrives

The Office of Sponsored Programs Preaward group will assist in bringing proposal and contract negotiations to award status.

Awards should always arrive in the Office of Sponsored Programs with an accompanying GTS/Huron Research Suite number. If OSP receives a Notice of Award from the sponsor via e-mail, fax or mail, the Administrator forwards the award letter to the PI and departmental business manager. If the awarded amount differs from the requested amount, the Administrator will request a revised budget within 5 days from the PI.

Once the budget is received for the award, our teams will move award content forward for postaward management and processing whereby a chartfield is established in PeopleSoft. Find additional information on postaward related activities.

Non-Financial Post Award Management

Pre-Award Office of Sponsored Programs also assists with all non-financial post award prior approval related actions. Contact the Administrator who is assigned to your department for assistance with these action items.

Prior Approvals

All requests requiring prior approval by the Sponsor require review and approval by Pre-Award Office of Sponsored Programs before submission to external sponsors. These include but are not limited to, reduction in effort 25% or greater, change or absentee of PI, and changes in scope.
