If you see something that requires attention please ask one of the secretaries to report it, or report it yourself but be sure to let us know so we don't duplicate our efforts.
Contact John by dialing 335, enter extension 340, repeat message twice. If that doesn't work you can contact Charlie Montgomery at 7-8545.

Procedures for Grant Proposals

Here is a brief rundown FYI:
1. Send the budget to Betty Newsom (College of Ag Grants officer, 7-7291, bnewsom@uky.edu) in advance to be proofed (this is not mandatory, but a good idea to save you time and pain)

2. Submit the complete proposal with all UK forms to Dr. Nancy Cox's office where it will be routed to all other offices for needed signatures (VP for Research, OSPA).

Simple!

Note a few points:
The following are required UK items:
a) BAE main office has a file for PENDING proposals. Very useful for tracking and bragging. Please provide a copy of each proposal, including the internal paperwork. We enter this into the BAE database.
b) Internal approval form, signed by all PI's and Chairs
i) the budget on this form is supposed to match that on the proposal.
ii) pay attention to division of effort amongst departments, give credit where due
iii) avoid cost share if you can (but you must include it in the University column on the Internal Approval form
iv) if a grant agency won't pay full (or any) overhead, you will need that statement to accompany the form
c) Disclosure of financial interest form -- still required for each person.

Other items of use:
1. If you are in a last-minute situation (I can't imagine this applying to most of our faculty!) you can get the proposal to Betty (Cox's office) and deal with internal stuff later.
2. If your grant proposal pays full overhead (36% of Ag, 20% for Ag off-campus) then you don't need VP Baldwin's signature
3. You can walk the entire thing through yourself, if you so desire. But, Cox's office will handle it.
Really.
