The Research Office processes all proposals submitted by Montana Tech for external funding. Submitting a proposal is easy and seamless for faculty and staff at Montana Tech.
The Research Office has the staff and expertise to ensure compliance with applicable policies and procedures, as well as to assist faculty in submitting the best proposals with the highest potential for funding.
Steps to submit a proposal:
If you would like editorial review, submit your proposal draft at least two (2) weeks prior to the deadline.
At minimum, we need:
Most pre-proposals need to be reviewed by the RO. If you answer yes to any of the below questions, we must process your proposal.
We require five working days (7 calendar days) to review proposals. This gives us enough time to coordinate budget review, proposal review, and obtain the appropriate campus approvals on your project. We want the highest quality proposals submitted.
Montana Tech must follow strict guidelines for sponsored programs and we need to protect both you and Montana Tech from the consequences of not following the guidelines. All proposals must be treated consistently and follow the guidance set forth by the federal government and the Montana Board of Regents. No one wants to receive an award that the university has to decline because we cannot comply with the sponsor’s terms and conditions.
