Proposal Development

The pre-award analyst assigned to your college, department, or center will help you develop a checklist of required documents and address key components of your proposal, including budget, narrative, required compliance documents, institutional information, and a description of core facilities and other resources.

  • Notify your RSP liaison of intent to submit and provide agency information.
  • Contact your College’s Grants Officer, if applicable.
  • Work with RSP to (1) develop a draft budget and (2) identify all required proposal components.
  • Identify collaborators and subcontractors, if applicable.
  • Develop drafts of all proposal components.

  • Send working drafts of all proposal components to RSP for review.
  • Finalize budget.
  • Complete Cayuse SP record and notify RSP that it is ready to route for approval.

Your RSP liaison will follow up with your college to resolve any routing issues.

Cayuse SP maintains proposal records electronically. Records are accessible to Principal Investigators (PIs), appropriate Department Chairs, DFOs, Deans, and CSUN research administration staff.  Coordination with RSP is key to a successful, on-time, error-free submission. You may begin your proposal in Cayuse SP, or contact your assigned analyst with questions. Details for creating records in Cayuse are available here.

You can access Cayuse using your CSUN credentials.

  • College-level approvals must be complete.
  • Send final drafts of all proposal components to RSP for processing, upload, and submission.
