Instructions for Notice of Intent to Apply Form

You have made the decision to apply for a grant.  You must now fill out a Notice of Intent to Apply form.  The purpose of this Notice is to alert your dean and other administrators that you will be applying for a grant.  This is important because, when you apply for a grant, you involve your institution in a legal contract.   Your dean and other administrators will have to approve that contract on behalf of the institution.  Therefore, it is important to work with the administration as early as possible when developing your proposal.
