Submission to Sponsor

Once your proposal clears compliance review, it moves through internal approvals in PeopleSoft (PAR) before being submitted by UMKC’s Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR). After submission, our team tracks sponsor requests, assists with corrections, and ensures a smooth handoff to Award Management, if funded.

AOR Submission

  • After PAR is fully approved and compliance holds are cleared, AOR submits via sponsor system.

  • Central Office sends Submission Confirmation to PI/Dept and files final package.

After Submission

  • Sponsor corrections: Central Office coordinates fixes/resubmission.

  • Just-in-Time/Pre-award requests: GCA tracks and routes as needed.

  • Award handoff: If selected, transitions to Award Management/Post-Award.

Service Standards

  • Standard review: materials due ≥5 business days pre-deadline

  • Complex/multi-sub proposals: ≥10 business days
