  • Step 1.   Notice of Intent to Apply for a Grant  (PDF)
    The purpose of this document is to inform the Office for Academic Research (OAR) of the Principal Investigator's (PI) and college's intent to apply for a grant. This does not obligate the PI to apply for the grant. This form need to be submitted to the OAR (CSS 310 or grants@ferris.edu) at least 30 days prior to the grant due date in order to guarantee the grant being submitted if there is a limited institutional submission (some grants only allow an institution one application).

  • Step 2.   Approval to Submit a Grant Proposal  (PDF)
    This form is to be filled out with appropriate signatures when the grant is ready to be submitted. The STEP 2 form (Approval to Submit a Grant Proposal) must be filled out and submitted to the Office for Academic Research (OAR) at least 7 days (5 business days) prior to the submission due date in order to guarantee submission. OAR will then get the approvals from the General Counsel (if over $250,000), the vice president for the Division, and the vice president for Administration and Finance then submit the grant for you.

  • Step 3.   Approval to Accept a Grant (Notice of Award)  (PDF)
