Pre-Award (Proposals)

This How‑To Guide serves as a centralized proposal submission filing cabinet for University of Miami investigators and departmental research staff. It consolidates official ORA Pre‑Award proposal preparation and submission guidance, institutional policies, required systems, and training resources to support compliant, timely, and accurate grant and sponsored proposal submissions through IBISResearch. Content is derived exclusively from official ORA Preparing a Proposal guidance and is intended to complement, not replace, sponsor‑specific instructions.
