WCU is a University of North Carolina Campus
Process for Grant and Contract Applications
Grant and Contract Applications:
Grants and contracts are applied for by individual faculty members, departments, colleges, and other administrative units of the university. They augment the university’s ability to fulfill its missions in instruction, service, and research, and come from federal, state, and local governments, foundations, corporations, and individuals.
Applications are prepared in conference with department heads or unit directors, deans, and Graduate School and Research. Before submission to funding agencies, proposals require approval by the department head or unit director, the appropriate dean, Graduate School and Research, legal counsel (in the case of contracts). When final proposals are ready, they should be submitted to Research Administration in 110 Cordelia Camp Building for routing through the approval process at least 5days before the funding agency’s deadline.
Research Administration is responsible for acquiring all administrative signatures plus making certain that all offices in the university, such as the computer center, Office for Institutional Studies and Planning, Institutional Review Board, Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, Institutional Safety Committee, etc., if needed, have an opportunity to review the proposal prior to submission.
When faculty members are notified of the agency’s approval or denial, they should notify Research Administration promptly, because agency decisions must be reported to the General Administration of the University of North Carolina system each month.

7.04.01 Statement of Sponsored Agreement/Effort Accountability
Regulations established by the federal government require that effort reporting be maintained on all sponsored agreements. This requirement covers all personnel who are paid directly from the sponsored agreement and those who devote cost sharing efforts to the agreement.
A standard reporting form is used to report the effort budgeted and the effort devoted for all programs. The effort report forms and the procedures for compliance with federal regulations can be obtained from the Office of Grants and Contracts located in the Office of the Controller.
