Review submission details

Set expectations with the trainee

Many ICs have SOPs that they provide to their own trainees who are considering submitting a grant. Examples of these SOPs are housed here (link coming soon)- they include setting expectations with the trainee about various internal deadlines, including but not limited to:

• Gaining their supervisor’s approval for writing and submitting a grant;
• Creating an ORCiD (required for submission)
• When to notify the Training Office that the trainee is planning for a particular submission deadline (this gives the office time to ensure that all registrations are up to date);
• Contacting the appropriate extramural Program Officer;
• Asking the Training Office to either create a new eRA Commons profile or affiliate an existing account with your IC;
• When to start writing/editing, and recommending they attend a grant-writing workshop;
• Internal deadlines for submission to Training Director/AOR via either ASSIST or grants.gov. We recommend having an earlier internal deadline than the grant submission deadline to account for errors or system issues;
• The post-submission process and next steps.
