Page History

PIs and Applicants submit proposals via access the pre-proposal submission interface during the pre-proposal submission phase of two-phase calls, or during submission for single-phase calls involving utilizing only the pre-proposal interface (pre-proposals or applications). 

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

Layout Descriptions

During pre-proposal submission, you'll primarily use the Pre-Proposals, Investigators, and Budgets layouts, as follows :

Pre-Proposals

• View a proposal's investigator Investigator list, budget  Budget information, and filesand uploaded 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.
• Email Lead PIs [ see General Information - Email Tool ]

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 using the blue [+] button to generate one for each.
• 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 Worksheets and 90-4s 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.
