Proposal Development Forms

The ORSP website provides guidelines to assist with the grant writing process as well as the requisite forms necessary to finalize and submit grants.

When a proposal is submitted for review, PI/PD must obtain the requisite signatures and submit forms along with proposal.


The ORSP Proposal/Award Authorization form is no longer used for proposal review/submissions. All proposals should now be routed and signed/approved electronically through Cayuse424. More information about and instructions for Cayuse424 can be found HERE.

The ORSP Proposal/Award Authorization form should still be used when routing award documents (i.e. contracts/agreements, reports) for signature/approval.

The ORSP Budget Development Worksheet is designed to facilitate the budgeting process by calculating for you all the required data. The figures will be reviewed and edited by the ORSP staff and changes made if necessary. This form must be used to prepare your grant project budget and must be submitted along with your final proposal for review by ORSP.

The ORSP Subrecipient Commitment Form is designed to facilitate the subrecipient approval process. The form outlines what documentation is reaquired from subrecipients and includes a signature requirement from subrecipient's authorizing official. This form must be used when preparing a proposal application that includes any subrecipient(s) and must be submitted to ORSP prior to proposal submission.

When committing UTPA resources to a proposed project the PI/PD must document and secure the authorization of the use of these resources using the Proposal/Award Cost Sharing Recap Form.This form should accompay the proposal package when routed for administrative review and approval.

The Request for Waiver of Indirect Cost Recovery form is used to request that UTPA accept less indirect cost reimbursement from the proposed funding agency than what it may legally charge. This request should only be made when the funding agency states in their request for proposals or in their submission guidelines that it will pay a specified rate for indirect costs, usually less than UTPA's federally negotiated rate or no indirect costs.
