Grants

Proposals: The Office for Sponsored Research and Award Administration (OSRAA) has oversight for all proposal submissions at OSU.

Proposals must be submitted through Cayuse and must include project narrative and a budget.
Cover page and application contact information can be found here.
OSRAA requires a minimum of three working days to review and approve proposals.
OSRAA provides periodic training sessions on Cayuse. Current training opportunities can be found here.
Cascades Business Office provides assistance with creating and/or reviewing budgetary information.

The PI (Principle Investigator) is ultimately responsible for monitoring their grants, but your Business Office is available to help.

Grant Reporting System (GRS)- GRS provides individuals with current financial status of their grant funds. GRS is located here.
If you are having difficulties accessing your online grant reports or wish to delegate monitoring to a research assistant, please contact your Business Office for assistance.
Contact your Business Office whenever you have a question regarding a grant.
