  • Proposal Development

    • The COLA research team assists with several types of outside funding. These include Grants, Fellowships, and Contracts, and other projects that require deliverables.  

       

      Pre-Award support starts when you join the university until your awarded funding account is set up! At that point, Post-Award takes over for spending! 

       

      Other projects may be supported by other offices and divisions around campus (University Advancement, Special Projects, etc.)—contact your Research Coordinator for help determining where to go!  

       

    • Kuali Record including:  

      • Solicitation 
      • Statement of Work (SOW) 
      • Budget 
      • Budget justification 

    • Other documents are often required by funding organizations.  

      These vary between funders, particular solicitations, can change year to year, and may depend on your specific project details.  Contact your Research Coordinator for assistance and directions. Your RC can help determine which documents are required and help tailor them to your specific proposal.  Examples include:  

      • Personnel Documents - Curriculum Vitae, Biographical Sketch, Affiliations, Descriptions of other and/or previous funding, etc. 
      • Institutional Documents – Institutional Facilities descriptions, Letters of Support, Indirect Cost Rate documentation, etc. 
      • Proposal requirements – Project Description, Summary, References Cited, Suggested Reviewers, Data Management, Dissemination Plans etc. 
      • Forms and documentation between collaborators 

  • Kuali

    • TXST uses Kuali to notify the Division of Research of all new proposals for outside funding and approve university routing.  

      All proposals require these documents in the Kuali record: 

      • Statement of Work 
      • Budget  
      • Budget Justification 

      TXST requires full proposals uploaded in Kuali for review before OSP routes the project for approval. (DO NOT SUBMIT FOR ROUTING, OSP MUST REVIEW FIRST)  

      For OSP proposal assistance, a Kuali record must exist 

    • Steps:  

      1) Log into Kuali and select the checkmark ‘Create Proposal’ 3rd icon down from the ‘Researcher’ tab at the top left of the screen.
