Proposal Development
All proposals to external sponsors must be approved by Yale University. This approval signifies that Yale accepts responsibility for administering the sponsored project, providing adequate facilities and services, and for complying with applicable University, sponsor and government policies and regulations. All schools and departments must submit their grant and contract proposals through the Office of Grant and Contract Administration (GCA). To find out the appropriate GCA staff person to contact relative to the review of your proposal, please refer to our staff departmental assignment list.
Proposals submitted to GCA for review and submission to a sponsor must be accompanied by a Yale University Transmittal Form (TranSum) - PPDev Form 1304 FR.03, which summarizes information about the proposal and requires signatures from the PI, the department chair and the business manager certifying compliance with Yale University policies.
Please take time to review the Sponsored Projects Handbook, a published compendium of policies and procedures related to sponsored research project administration at Yale University. NOTE: The Sponsored Projects Handbook is currently under review (summer/fall 2011).
YALE POLICY ON GRANT & CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION REVIEW
