Where To Go For Assistance

The Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP), together with Grant Managers across campus, work to provide the best possible service to faculty and staff interested in submitting proposals for external funding.  Under our current procedure, proposals to external sponsors should be submitted to OSP. 

Some projects may be submitted through Foundations & Corporate Relations in later stages, but that determination will be made after evaluation by OSP. 

OSP and Foundations & Corporate Relations will coordinate submissions and future management of the projects.

Click here to email OSP: Sponsored.Projects@Dartmouth.edu.  See our Staff Directory for a list of contact names.

Before Proposals May Be Submitted . . .     

  • Dartmouth has an electronic database which has information used to complete the on-line, required, Dartmouth Proposal Routing Form. To get your name in this database, please send an email message to Sponsored Projects requesting that you be registered as an investigator. (NOTE: this is a requirement for all Dartmouth Co-PIs and Key Personnel as well)
  • Several sponsors now require electronic submission for proposals (such as NSF’s Fastlane). In order to access these on-line sites you must be registered. Please contact Sponsored Projects via email to request that you become registered with any necessary sponsor.
  • Please review the applicable division-specific section at the back of this manual for any exceptions, additional requirements, and/or further information.
