Who Needs to Review My Proposal Before Submission?

In FAS, all requests for funding to be submitted to an external sponsor must be reviewed and approved by the following entities:

1. The PI’s department or center;
2. the Dean of FAS or his/her designee;
3. and, on behalf of the President and Fellows of Harvard College, by the Office for Sponsored Programs or, for industry sponsored agreements, the Office for Technology Development.

In certain FAS science departments, under certain circumstances, the Laboratory Director is authorized to review and approve as the Dean’s designee before the proposal is forwarded to OSP.

If you need additional assistance, please contact Jennifer Lech, 617-495-9840, jennifer_lech@harvard.edu.

Proposals must be submitted to FAS OSP at least 5 business days before they are due to any sponsor, per Harvard’s Proposal Submission Policy. For more information about the review process see Review and Submission on the FAS Research Administration Services website.
