Description

The clock is ticking. The proposal submission deadline looms. You've checked the budget, the proposal narrative fonts and margins, and all the required parts of the application. What else needs your review before the proposal is submitted? Many areas of compliance often do not receive adequate attention during the proposal review process, usually due to deadline, time, or staffing constraints. However, lack of attention to compliance could not only impact the potential for a successful proposal, but it may also lead to unexpected difficulties at your institution if the project is awarded as proposed. It is therefore vital to have a good understanding of the major areas of compliance and to be able to identify and address potential issues, so that problems may be avoided or at least minimized. This workshop will focus on six major compliance topics that should be considered and resolved in the pre-award proposal review process: Human Subjects; Cost Sharing; Conflict of Interest; Total Effort; Export Controls; and OFAC issues. For each of these compliance topics, the workshop will address critical issues to be examined in the proposal review process. It will include discussion and several case studies.
