Complete and submit an Advance Notice of Funding Submission form (ANFS) to notify Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA) of any upcoming funding submissions (Letter of Intent (LOI), Progress Report, or direct application (new funding proposal, supplement, transfer, resubmission) or renewal). All of these types of submissions should be routed through the Rush Research Portal if the project involves reseaerch.
Complete an ANFS form at-least 30 days prior to the Sponsor due date so that SPA can plan our workload accordingly. Letters of Intent: enter the date the Direct Sponsor would like the signed LOI returned and NOT the funding agency submission deadline. Enter this date in both the ANFS and in the Grant Summary Workspace in the Rush Research Portal.
One ANFS form can be used to enter multiple submissions. Select the correct number of submissions on the form to fill out more than one submission per form.
To report any changes to a submission (i.e. withdrawl of submission, change of due date, change of project title, etc) email the change to ora_grants@rush.edu with as much detail as possible, including date ANFS was submitted, submission type (i.e. R01 new funding proposal) and the PI name).
Definitions:
Letters of Intent (LOI): Rush is requested by the Direct Sponsor (applicant organization) to complete documentation in preparation for an application they are submitting directly to the Prime Sponsor (funding agency). Rush is an expected subrecipient on the award or Rush is currently a subrecipient on the Direct Sponsor's existing award and they are requesting additional documentation to issue the next year of funding.
New Funding Proposal/Resubmission/Renewal/Revision: These are all types of submissions that Rush directly submits to the Prime Sponsor/Funder.
