Develop & Submit Proposal

The Division of Sponsored Programs (DSP) reviews, approves and facilitates submission of all proposals on behalf of the University of Florida faculty and staff. All proposals must comply with University, State, Federal and sponsor requirements and PIs must obtain institutional approvals (e.g., Department, College, and DSP) prior to submission to the sponsor. The PI, department administration support staff and Division of Sponsored Programs work together to develop the most competitive and compliant proposals for submission.
