COMPLIANCE REVIEW

Once a Cayuse SP record has been fully approved and the status is 鈥淥RA Received鈥� contact ResAdmin@villanova.edu to request the compliance review.  Any issues identified during the compliance review will be directed to the Lead PI and the Cayuse 鈥淧roposal Owner鈥� as named in the Cayuse record.  Proposals are not eligible for submission until all compliance issues are resolved.  Compliance reviews may take up to 24 hours.  Plan accordingly. 

AOR SIGNATURE

If there are documents that require AOR signature:

• Email ResAdmin@villanova.edu with the Cayuse SP record #
• Attach the FINAL version of documents requiring AOR signature
• Include detailed instructions about the documents (ex. page # of signature block, etc)

AOR will sign once Cayuse record status is 鈥淎ssigned to ORA Reviewer鈥� and compliance conditions have been met.

NOTE: If any other signatures are required, obtain those prior to sending to OG&C.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

If AOR submission is required and when the proposal is final, contact ResAdmin@villanova.edu, with detailed instructions of the submission process.  Once submitted, OG&C will update the Cayuse SP record status to 鈥淪ubmitted-No Review.鈥�

If AOR submission is not required, contact ResAdmin@villanova.edu with submission confirmation from sponsor (if received) and final full proposal as one merged document.  OG&C will update the Cayuse SP record status to 鈥淪ubmitted-No Review.鈥� 

If, after submission, a system generated error or warning is received, the PI(s) and Proposal Owner are responsible for addressing and resolving.  NOTE: If the proposal is submitted on the due date, opportunities to correct system generated errors are limited, so the proposal may not be able to be submitted.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

• Proposals that are not prepared by the DRA will not receive an SRA review.    
• Subaward vs Contractor checklist will be completed by OG&C only if the proposal is selected for funding. If the external collaborator is not categorized correctly in the proposal, a budget revision may be required.
