Deal with Forms & Ancillary Requirements

Guidance and Resources

• A word of advice: Do NOT leave the various ancillary pieces and forms to the last minute.  You may find yourself unable to submit if you don't have the correct information in hand.  Check out the suggested cycle for grant submission (Game Plan) or timeline and be sure you have created yourself at the outset a detailed checklist so you know all the pieces you will be required to pull together.
• Most proposal cover pages ask for information that can be found on MSU's Office of Sponsored Programs' Information Sheet.  Look here first.
