Internal Proposal Routing Procedure
All UW research proposals require a signed UW Cover Sheet . This Cover Sheet requires the signature of the Principal Investigator (PI), Department Chair, Co-Applicants and the Dean of Engineering. The Dean of Engineering is the FINAL signature required in the Faculty of Engineering. After this, required signatures must be obtained from the UW Office of Research.
Acquiring the Dean's signature
Important: Please allow at least 48 hours to obtain the Dean's signature
To acquire the Dean's signature, the PI routes their proposal through the Engineering Research Office (ERO). The ERO will obtain the Dean's signature, make a copy of the proposal and then contact the PI to let them know the proposal is ready for pick up and/or forwarding to the UW Office of Research. Proposals to be forwarded to the UW Office of Research must clearly indicate to whom they should be forwarded.
Proposal Preparation Services
The ERO offers proposal preparation services for Faculty members.
We will review proposals, editing for technical merit, grammar and overall readability.
Proposals submitted for review must be provided to the Engineering Research Office at least one month in advance of the deadline to ensure that proper time is allotted for review and subsequent changes before submission.
