PS Approvals
by Justin Marmolejo
Hello everyone,
As mentioned previously, some Research Administrators will remain in the GR_CENTRAL_OFC role in PeopleSoft to approve budget transfers and requisitions. Because of this, those same RAs will receive vouchers, expense reports, and travel authorizations meant for OSP to approve.
With that in mind, for those RAs that are in the GR_CENTRAL_OFC role, please make sure you are not approving any vouchers, expense reports, or travel authorizations on behalf of OSP.
To the OSP staff, please make sure you are approving your workflow daily to help reduce confusion for the Research Administrators on which items they need to approve.
Thanks,
Justin

NSF Career proposal submissions July 23
by Jennifer Silver
Good afternoon.
Good news! So far, 29 proposal applications are in production for the submission deadline of July 23.
A standard checklist for NSF Career award applications should be shared between the RA teams for the proposal packaging preparation. SRAs, please coordinate.
The complete proposal package is due to the RA team for review by July 17th. OSP will accept complete proposals for review if they are routed and received no later than July 21 for submission to NSF by July 23. Of course, the earlier the better for everyone involved.
Thanks, everyone, for your hard work in support of the faculty seeking career research funding.
