Cayuse and City Tech grants process

It is essential that faculty/staff submit a City Tech Notice of Intent (NOI) at least one month before the sponsor deadline. If moving forward with an application, a proposal record will be created in the Cayuse by OSP. Compliance SFI forms will be completed by PI and co-PIs in Cayuse. OSP will route the proposal record to the PI and any co-PIs to certify, and for the chair and dean to approve when the project budget is complete. Project budgets must be finalized at least one week before the sponsor deadline to allow for Cayuse routing. This is separate from the sponsor application process, which varies by sponsor. Grant applications must be submitted by OSP no later than two days before the sponsor deadline.
