Approval of extramural grant proposals within the School of Nursing:

1. First, the principal investigator signs the grant application and prepares and authorizes an electronic GC-1 (e-GC-1).
2. Second, the department chair of the principal investigator approves the e-GC-1. In general, the grant application should be submitted to the department administrator for review and chair's signature.
3. Next, approval must be obtained from the department chair of other departments within Nursing whose faculty are participating in the proposed project. In general, the grant application should be submitted to the department administrator for review and chair's signature.
4. Next, approval signatures must be obtained from the department chair and school or college dean for faculty from any UW school/college outside the School of Nursing.
   
5. If animal use is a part of the proposed project, an approval signature must be obtained from the Animal Care Committee office.
   
6. After approval has been obtained, the proposal may be submitted to the UW Office of Sponsored Programs for final UW approval. A letter of intent to complete human subjects review prior to issuance of a grant award is no longer required by the UW Human Subjects Review Committee Office; however, if notice is received that an award is likely, the PI should be prepared to immediately submit a Human Subjects Review Application.
   
7. A copy of the grant application, including a copy of the signed GC-1 form pages and addendum, but excluding any appendices, must be submitted to the Office for Nursing Research. If the grant is awarded, a copy of the award notice must be sent to the Office for Nursing Research.
