ORSP uses the Grant Management System (GMS) to streamline the administration of grants and contracts at all stages, including proposal development, award management, research compliance, and financial reporting.
- SPIN will be offline for maintenance on Saturday, December 14, 2024. During this time, you won't be able to create new applications or re-select opportunities in Proposal Development using SPIN or Grants.gov options. Existing records will open normally, but S2S applications will show a schema out of date alert, which can be ignored until SPIN is back online. Once the maintenance is complete, the alert will no longer appear. Please contact your assigned grant administrator if you have questions about your proposal application; otherwise, please contact our GMS Help Desk at orspgms@sfsu.edu.
- Breadcrumb to create proposal record (e.g., PI Checklist): Login to GMS > PreAward > Create New: Proposal
- Who is Eligible to Submit a Proposal? Probationary (tenure track) and tenured faculty; Faculty with emeritus status; MPP appointment; or individuals with unexpired Provisional PI Status. Additional information: Need a Grant or Contract > Policies & Procedures
- ORSP GMS Proposal records as early as FY2015: To have a complete record of proposals in the new Grants Management System (GMS), ORSP is uploading data and files from proposals from prior years (as early as 2015) into GMS. Principal investigators will receive automated emails with the subject "Notice of Award Received" and "Proposal Submitted" from senders Rowena Manalo, Yusuf Abdolcader, or Ananyashree Vipin Kothari. Please disregard the emails. We thank you for your patience as we complete these necessary steps and ask that you please excuse the additional emails until the project has been completed, towards the beginning of 2025.

- Routing your GMS PI Checklist to ORSP within 4 weeks or fewer of a funding agency deadline will need to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to assess staff capacity, and we will no longer be able to guarantee that the proposal will be submitted with short notice.
