Comprehensive, “hands on” COEUS Lite classes for Faculty and Department Administrators are on going and currently scheduled to run weekly through the end of March at the main and downtown campuses.  Learn how to prepare electronic proposal transmittals, create a research budget and convert it to an NIH modular budget, upload research proposal documents and route for electronic signatures.  Use our sample proposal or bring your own.  Coeus is replacing the paper Proposal Transmittal Form Set and the entire Drexel community will be required to submit their proposals though this dynamic, online system.

• All electronic submission systems slow down considerably during periods of high usage, which most often occurs near a deadline.
• Following ORA's regular procedures ensures that you, the investigator, are not penalized for electronic processing delays.
• It is the intent of ORA to enhance the quality of submitted proposals. Lead time also provides an investigator with time to correct the problems before the sponsor's deadline.
• Careful attention and service from ORA create end products that are polished and free of common errors.

• An administrative Point-of-Contact at the subcontractor sites (NOT the PI)
• Detailed Budget and Justification
• F&A Rate Agreement
• Statement of Work (SOW)
• Statement of Intent signed by authorized official
• Signed Face Page (If NIH)
• Any other Sponsor required forms (e.g., Certifications & Representations) that we must provide

• All completed proposal applications are due at ORA 5 business days prior to the sponsor deadline. Why?
• If a Subcontract is involved ORA recommends a 10 business day notification. Required Items
