COP Preparation

In order to facilitate grant submissions (electronic and paper), and to provide documentation required for our administrative files as well as for OSP, the following departmental policy for handling COPs and budgets has been established. This policy applies to all grant applications to all public and private agencies.

At least 6 business days before the agency deadline, provide the following documents to Veronica Chavez in the office:

  1. COP, signed (Click here for a blank form)
  2. First year detailed budget (Click here for a blank form, or use a comparable form from your grant application)
  3. All-year summary budget (Click here for a blank form, or use a comparable form from your grant application)

Veronica will be responsible for routing this “COP-budget packet” for you. She will accept the packet from you, route it through Nickie for a budget check, then to Dr Nicholson for signature, and finally on to OSP (or back to you, whichever you prefer).

We request these budgets, even in cases where the granting agency or OSP does not, as budgeting is likely to help investigators plan the grant, and it will certainly help the department track efforts (for the purposes of monitoring cost-sharing) and needs for students and postdocs in the department in the future. We understand these budgets are subject to change once a grant is funded.

Please share this information with anyone in your lab/office who assists you with grant preparation.
