APPLICATION GUIDELINE ATTACHMENT
Students should work directly with their Department Research Administrator (RA) in the preparation of the proposal. An RA may also be known as a Fund Manager (FM). If the RA or FM is not known, it is recommended the student work with their mentor’s RA or designate. The RA will need to create the Kuali Proposal Development record.
NIH F31 applications are no longer processed through GEPA and the previous contact, Michelle Monroy, should not be named as the contact on the application. The new contact is:
Lisa Jandt Auvil, Office of Contract & Grant Administration
Email: ljandtauvil@ucsd.edu
We are requesting that the department RA is the primary contact for the student and will assist with some of their basic questions regarding their application.
Lisa Jandt Auvil, OCGA, will need the Assist Application Number. When the application is ready to be reviewed, please contact her by email at ljandtauvil@ucsd.edu. When the application is final and ready for submission, the RA or student will need to change the status to 'Ready to Submit'. Lisa or her designate in OCGA will submit the application.
Please plan to have your proposal in a near- complete draft five (5) days prior to the deadline date. This allows OCGA time to review, provide comments and recommendations for edits, and time for the requested edits to be made by the student or RA.
