Processing ARRA Proposals at Purdue:

Please note, all proposals related to ARRA funds require a Proposal Submission Form (PSF), academic approvals, and institutional signature prior to being sent to the sponsor.

Information Requests for Currently Pending or Previously Not Funded Proposals:

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has prompted a number of sponsors to ask faculty for “just-in-time” (JIT) or additional information on previously submitted proposals. As faculty begin to receive notices and phone calls from federal agencies regarding funding under ARRA, we encourage you to route these requests immediately through your academic business office or to your designated Pre-Award area. It is our understanding that mandated turn-around times will be very short. The JIT information requested may include:

• additional budget details
• a reduced scope of work and level of effort, should there be reductions in initially proposed funding (i.e. if the sponsor is cycling back to fund a previously submitted proposal)
• updated other support pages (such as current and pending)
• information related to approval for the use of human subjects, vertebrate animals, recombinant DNA, and biohazardous materials. For assistance contact: Ianthe Bryant-Gawthrop at ibg@purdue.edu.

Responses to these requests must be reviewed and submitted by SPS.
