Lesson 2: Exercise 1 CREATE A NEW PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION To start a New Proposal in Coeus Premium, you need to have the following: Coeus Proposal Creator role in your PI s Lead Unit Identify the Principal Investigator (PI) Identify the opportunity (CFDA number or Funding Opportunity number) for Grants.Gov submissions Print and read the sponsor s opportunity instructions SCENARIO In this scenario, you have identified your opportunity, read the instructions, and are ready to start the proposal. You will enter the basic details of your proposal and link the proposal to Grants.Gov. The data you enter will start to populate the Grants.Gov forms. Create a New Proposal 1. Select Maintain > Proposal Development or click the Maintain Proposal Development button. 2. Close the proposal search window by clicking the Cancel button to begin creating a new proposal. 3. Select Edit > New Proposal or click the Add a new Proposal button. 4. The Proposal Details window will appear and the next available proposal number in sequence will be assigned to the proposal. The Proposal Details window is comprised of eight panels signified by tabs. Much of the information provided in these panels will be used to populate fields in the forms required for your particular funding opportunity. By creating a new proposal, you are automatically assigned the role of Aggregator. In this exercise, you are tasked with creating a new proposal, and supplying a minimal amount of information before saving the proposal and allowing others to collaborate on completion of the proposal. Coeus Premium: Proposal Development - Page 7 - Coeus Premium 4.3.2

Proposal Panel The first tab in the Proposal Details window will contain the basic information about the project. Use the information and steps below to complete the Proposal panel: 1. Enter the basic details of the proposal, including Start Date, End Date, Title, Activity Type, Notice of Opportunity and Proposal Type. Data Title Theobromine and its effect of Dopamine production Start Date 1/01/2011 End Date 12/31/2013 Proposal Type Activity Type NSF Code Sponsor Notice of Opportunity Funding Opportunity Number. Subcontract New Organized Research F.02.: Biological Life Sciences NIH Federal Solicitation PA-07-070 Coeus Premium: Proposal Development - Page 8 - Coeus Premium 4.3.2

2. Select the NSF Code as specified by the Principal Investigator. The NSF Code is used to report research expenditures to the federal government and is one factor in the national ranking of colleges and universities that is published in US News and World Report, as well as other journals. 3. To enter the Sponsor, click the search button next to the textbox and search by Sponsor Name or Acronym (Acronym: NIH). 4. Prime Sponsor (*only used if you are preparing to submit as a sub-awardee, not a direct submission to Grants.Gov) Otherwise, leave Prime Sponsor blank. 5. Check the Subcontract checkbox if this proposal will include a sub-award. 6. If you are submitting to Grants.Gov, enter the CFDA No. or Funding Opportunity No. 7. You have entered the data required for saving a proposal, select File > Save or click the Save button. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Data entered in the Sponsor field should be the sponsor that is providing funds to MIT. If MIT is the subcontractor for the proposal, then the institute for which you are submitting your proposal is your Sponsor and the Prime Sponsor is the agency providing the funds to that sponsor. For Grants.Gov submissions the Sponsor must be a Federal sponsor; you will not be able to link a non-federal sponsor proposal to Grants.Gov. Note: If you are submitting a proposal to Grants.Gov, you should make the Grants.Gov system-to-system connection as soon as you have entered Funding Opportunity No* or CFDA No. The Funding Opportunity or CFDA number field connects your proposal to the Grants.Gov system and is required to submit the proposal via Grants.Gov.* * Some sponsors, such as NIH, use multiple CFDA numbers per opportunity. If your search does not locate an opportunity by the CFDA number, try inserting the Funding Opportunity Number only, and search again. Coeus Premium: Proposal Development - Page 9 - Coeus Premium 4.3.2

Grants.Gov Link If you are submitting a proposal to Grants.Gov, you will connect to the Grants.Gov server to retrieve information regarding the funding opportunity associated with the Funding Opportunity Number or CFDA Number you entered on the Proposal panel. 1. Select Action > Grants.Gov. 2. The Select an Opportunity window will display information for funding opportunities corresponding to the Program Number previously specified. 3. The Program Number for this example has only one associated opportunity. It is highlighted by default. 4. Click the OK button. Once you have chosen your funding opportunity, the Grants.Gov Submission Details window displays vital information regarding that opportunity, such as the opening and closing date and links to the specific instructions, provided by the sponsor, for completing the proposal. Coeus Premium: Proposal Development - Page 10 - Coeus Premium 4.3.2

5. Click the Instructions Page link to access and read requirements for submitting a proposal for the selected opportunity. Instructions: Click to access instructions for the selected opportunity. Note go to the Sponsor s website to get complete and current instructions The following options appear in the Grants.Gov Submission Details window: Select Opportunity: You realized that you made a mistake and would like to select another opportunity listed under the same CFDA. Delete Opportunity: If you realize you need a completely different opportunity, or to remove the link to Grants.Gov. Validate: You must validate your proposal against Grants.Gov before submitting for approval.
