ROUTING SHEET

What is this form?
The attached Routing Sheet is necessary for ORSP to process any proposal for sponsored funds. This form serves two purposes. First, it provides a checklist for the Project Director (PD) of issues that need to be considered. Secondly, and most essential, the Routing Sheet becomes an official document indicating College approval for the project.

What do I do with it?
The PD is requested to sign the routing sheet and obtain the Department signatures. Upon submission of a proposal and signed Routing Sheet to ORSP, the necessary  paperwork to process the application and request administrative approvals can be initiated.

Why do I have to do it?
It saves considerable time if the Routing Sheet is properly signed as the sequence of signature is important. The administrative endorsements cannot be obtained until those people are assured that the application has met with the Department Chair and Dean’s approval. In addition, if the project required Human Subject Committee or Animal Care Committee review, a signed approval from the appropriate committee must also be submitted to ORSP with the proposal.
