General Guidelines for All URAF Proposals
Eligibility:
  1. PI must be a full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty member at UT. Faculty of the College of Medicine are not eligible for some of these awards.
     
  2. PI must be at UT during the full academic year of the award.

Format and Content Requirements:

  1. Use only the cover page provided on the internal URAF Website.
     
  2. Use standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper with one-inch margins on all four sides and double-spaced 12-point type (recommended -- a serif typestyle such as Georgia, Palatino, Century, Times New Roman).
     
  3. Paginate every page, beginning with page 1 for the cover page.
     
  4. Include a reference list limited to one page or less.
     
  5. Include a one-page budget listing major expense categories and fully justify the need for each expense.
     
  6. Include a two-page biosketch for the PI and any co-investigators.

Please pay particular attention to the following “do not” items:

  1. Do not use a title page separate from the URAF program cover page.
     
  2. Do not use the university’s proposal approval sheet and budget worksheet (those are required only for proposals to external sponsors).
     
  3. Do not include appendix material.
     
  4. Do not staple or bind in any way (use paper or binder clips).

Proposals that do not follow these general guidelines will not be accepted.

Submit one PDF file of the complete proposal (including signed cover page, description, biosketches, budget and reference list) via e-mail or disk to Dr. Elsa Nadler, Office of Research Development, 3rd Floor, CCE Building, urafp@utoledo.edu or elsa.nadler@utoledo.edu
