Rejection

In most cases, the PI of a proposal submitted to an agency is notified if his/her proposal is not successful. SPA may or may not be copied on this correspondence. Please let your SPA grants administrator know when a proposal you’ve submitted has not been funded, so the proper notation can be made in the University’s mainframe computing system.  Your Faculty Activity Report (FAR) will record a submitted proposal as Pending until a decision has been made to fund or not to fund. OSP periodically performs clean-up work on old pending proposals when no decision has been received after a lengthy period of time. These old pending proposals will be administratively rejected in the mainframe, so that subsequent FAR records are accurate.
