Steps to complete:

  1. Fill out ARHU Intent to Submit Form
  2. SLLC Business Office will reach out to schedule an initial meeting to learn more about the Grant/Fellowship Opportunity
  3. Work with SLLC Business Office to prepare proposal documents, which typically include:
    • Statement of Work/Proposal
    • Budget
    • Budget Justification
    • Other necessary documents listed in Notice of Funding
  4. All proposal materials must be finalized and submitted to SLLC two weeks before the proposal deadline. This means marking all materials as FINAL in BOX as soon as possible.
