Intent to Propose (ITP)

The ITP is the required form for notifying the OSP and your Dean/Director/Equivalent Executive Officer of an intent to submit a proposal. The form, which is transmitted electronically to OSP and your Dean/Director/Institutional Administrator, must be received at least two weeks prior to the submission deadline.

Proposal Award and Submission (Blue) Sheet

The Blue Sheet is an internal document used as a means for capturing and transmitting relevant proposal information to facilitate the formal approval of a submission by the Principal Investigator from the Department Chair (if required) and the Dean/Director. A fully completed and properly approved Blue Sheet must be received by the OSP before a proposal will be authorized for submission by the University.
