ATTENTION: Forms access is in transition to a new system. Please contact Sugeiry Rivera riveras@savannahstate.edu to inquire about current forms.

Forms

Intent Form  (Required only for Pre-Proposals & Limited Submissions)

Submit this form to secure early approval from chair, dean, and the Office of Sponsored Research Administration (OSRA) in cases where funding agency 1) requires a pre-proposal or 2) sets limits on number of applications that may be submitted per college or institution.

Grant Proposal Approval Form

Institutional approval is required prior to submission of all grant/contract proposals. The approval form documents this institutional approval. Submit the proposal narrative and budget under cover of the approval form to chair/dean/OSRA for review/signature, before the submission deadline, to allow adequate time for institutional review and approval and to ensure that the proposed scope of work and budget meet federal, state, and institutional requirements.

Time and Effort

Time and Effort Reporting Policy

Time and effort reporting is a federal requirement under The United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB), 2 CFR, Part 200.430, paragraph (i) stating that charges to federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. It ensures that salary paid to individuals by federal grants agree with time and effort actually spent on the project. The Time and Effort report confirms "after-the-fact" that the salary paid matches the amount of effort charged to federally-funded activities. The reports are used to ensure compliance with the level of effort agreed to in the award document. All individuals paid from federal funds must complete a time and effort report each semester and return it to the Office of Sponsored Research (OSRA).

Time and effort forms are to be submitted to OSRA on an after-the-fact semester basis to certify the effort performed over the prior semester. The deadline by semester is:
