Thanks, Mike!  We can agree to this process for this year, too.

The proposal application is submitted by the student directly. GRFP fellowships applications by UT San Antonio students tend to be awarded to another institution, the fellow’s declared graduate program.

UT San Antonio GRFP awards declared by an incoming graduate student, as stated in their fellowship award letter and the associated application, need to be routed through OSP before their stipend PID is set up.

Here is a link to the GRFP administrative guide.

Hi Liz,

Last year for the NSF GRFP’s application process, the Cayuse proposal doesn't need to be routed through OSP.

For dashboard and credit purposes, please verify in the Routing form that the Advisor (UTSA

Faculty) gets 100% credit, and the pre-award tab is completed after submission confirmation

Best,

Hi All,

I vaguely recall that last year we were told that we were not routing GRFP applications with NOI/cayuse.  Can someone please remind me?

Thank you 😊
