Research Affairs: Researcher's Alert for April 1, 2016 http://myllu.llu.edu/syncall/communityhome/?communityId=6088 en-us Thu, 02 May 2024 00:09:20 -0700 SyncAll RSS 1.0 6088:25821 <![CDATA[New Proposal Submission Timeline]]> Cindy Dickson, MBA Scheduled to go into production is the new proposal submission timeline.  Currently, the timeline is included in the body of an email sent to the principal investigator; it will now be sent as an email attachment — see pdf. attachment below.

There are several benefits to the new timeline:

  • Generating the timeline will no longer be a manual process, the dates and fields will be automatically calculated and filled-in based on the created InfoEd (LLeRA) record.
  • The principal investigator will now be able to save the timeline in his or her personal proposal development folder—hard drive, external drive, cloud storage, etc.
  • Everyone with access to the record will be able to view, save and/or print the timeline.
  • The timeline will become a permanent document in the record (saved in the PT attachment tab).

I hope you find this a convenient improvement to our current process.  If you have any questions, comments or concerns do not hesitate to email me at cdickson@llu.edu.

  • Interface for the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts
  • How to apply/application guide information
  • Grants process overview
  • Forms library
  • Presentation of policy information
  • and more…

If something doesn’t work as expected or if you can’t find information that used to be there, let us know by emailing the  OER Webmaster
