Proposal Submission

Proposals for external support through CSUSM must be submitted through OGSR Grants and Contracts Development. CSUSM Corporation will be the legal applicant. This applies to the following mechanisms: grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, subawards, letters of intent, and, where deemed appropriate for post-award administration, private funding gifts with oversight requirements. 

Show All
  • Proposal Authorization
    The OGSR Grants and Contracts Development staff, on behalf of CSUSM Corporation, ensures compliance with applicable government regulations, CSU policies, and sponsor guidelines regarding proposal submission.
  • Institutional Approval

    The Cayuse Proposal Form captures institutional signatories for approval. We expect that a final budget be ready 10 business in advance of the deadline to ensure the authorization process can be completed prior to submission.
