Funding Proposal Submission Portal
To help streamline the proposal submission process in the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs, we are implementing a funding proposal submission portal for the research community at UAMS. Click the button below to visit the portal.
Benefits of the portal:
- Single repository for first contact from PIs
- Simplified, accessible platform for all proposal-related information
- Standardization of information requested from all PIs
- Tracking system for receipt of first contact
- Reduced communication delays
How the portal process will work:
- PI will enter proposal information into the portal at least 30 to 45 days prior to the sponsor deadline
- Team member from Research & Sponsored Programs will receive a notification from the portal
- Team member from Research & Sponsored Programs will assign the proposal to the appropriate person to prepare the proposal
- Within 2 business days, a team member will provide the PI with a project-specific timeline and PI questionnaire
- Research & Sponsored Programs team member will then begin the Muse entry and formal proposal collaboration with the PI
- The proposal timeline must be followed as very few timeline extension requests will be approved
If you have any questions about the process, please reach out to Andi Ham (acham@uams.edu) or Daniel E. Voth (dvoth@uams.edu).
