Forms

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 the OSP and your Dean/Director/Equivalent Executive Officer, must be received at least two weeks prior to the submission deadline.

Intent to Propose - Muskie School of Public Service (ITP) (For Muskie PI's/PD's Only)
The Muskie ITP is the required form for notifying the OSP and your Dean/Director of an intent to submit a proposal. The form, which is transmitted electronically to the OSP and your Dean/Director, 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/Equivalent Executive Officer. 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.

Faculty Keyword/Funding Source Match Sheet
This is the sheet OSP uses to register Faculty/Staff interests in our database to aid us in accurately directing appropriate funding opportunities to the USM community.

Pre-Contact Approval Form
Internal approval form used by University Advancement and The Office of Sponsored Programs to coordinate funding requests. This approval is not the final submission approval, its sole intention is to make sure there are not multiple proposals being developed simultaneously to be submitted to the same foundation. The Blue Sheet form and signatures are still necessary for all grants.

Monthly Financial Review Sheet
Contract and grant administrators are expected to reconcile their accounts on a monthly basis. The Monthly Financial Review Sheet (MFR) is an internal tool used to assist in this process by facilitating communication between project directors, their administrative staff, and our office, regarding financial and other administrative issues.
