As part of the proposal review process ORS Pre-Award staff route all proposals for approval, including for any commitments of institutional time and resources, prior to submission to the sponsor. Proposals are routed on behalf of PIs to key administrators, including Department Chairs, Center Directors, and Dean’s offices. In addition, the ORS Research Protections team is notified of proposals that include human subjects research, vertebrate animals, or biohazardous agents during the routing process.
