Instructions

1. Log in and create an account on the eGrants web site. CNS e-mails ORS indicating a new account has been created.

 
2. Within 24 hours, ORS staff assigns you (the individual named in the email) the role of grantee in eGrants. This role allows you to view UIC organizational information and enter your proposal information.

 
3. Submit a Proposal Approval Form with detailed budget and scope, no later than 5 days prior to the proposal due date. The proposal will not be submitted by ORS without a PAF.
    
4. ORS will review the budget upon receipt of the PAF and will contact the individual named on the PAF of any corrections needed.
    
5. When you are ready to submit your proposal and ORS has received the PAF, validate the proposal in eGrants. An email will be automatically generated by ORS that your proposal is pending approval. ORS will approve and submit proposal to CNS.
