Section

PIs submit proposals via the pre-proposal submission interface during the pre-proposal submission phase of two-phase calls or during submission for single-phase calls involving only the pre-proposal interface. 

eSG Administrators manage the pre-proposal submission process via the Administrative Review web interface or the RFP FMP interface. The Administrative Review interface is only for retrieving information, while the RFP FMP interface is for managing the information.

Layout Descriptions


Pre-Proposals

  • Email Lead PIs [ see General FMP Information - Email Tool ]
  • View a proposal's investigator list, budget information, and files
  • Click 'Preview Coverpage' to see what the coverpage will look like for a particular proposal. Its layout depends upon the number detailed investigator records accepted during pre-proposal submission ($pp_PI_limit; see Global Variables). Up to two detailed investigator records are displayed on the coverpage, and additional detailed records are listed under 'ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATORS'. 'OTHER PERSONNEL'  includes even less-detailed investigator information and appears last.

Investigators

  • This table lists investigators added via registration or at the 'Investigators' step in proposal submission, and includes detailed contact information, CV / resume, and a list of other proposals in which they've participated. CV / resumes may be added, updated, and deleted here as well.
  • Investigators who registered as PIs automatically have a password; passwords may be applied to other investigators by simply typing one into the box.
  • Access Type doesn't do anything at this time.

Budgets

Use of eSG budget worksheets in the pre-proposal phase is optional per call. If eSG worksheets are used, the PI only needs to include a single line of totals for requested Sea Grant and Grantee funds for a funding year, as follows...

For each funding year worksheet,

  1. Complete questions 1-4 under 'Current Worksheet'.
  2. Add one line to Section G, as follows:
  3. Select Cost Type = Other Cost NOT Subject to Indirect
  4. Description = "Year 1 budget", "Year 2 budget" , etc.
  5. Sea Grant Funds = $$
  6. Grantee Share = $$

The pre-proposal coverpage automatically displays total requested Sea Grant and Grantee funds entered in the worksheets. Please refer to Budget Management in FMP for complete guidance in using eSG's budget system.

If eSG budget worksheets is are not used for the pre-proposal phase of a call, budgets may instead be attached to the proposal narrative.
