Internal Approval for Funding Applications

• Internal approval must be completed on all research funding applications and proposals regardless of whether the funding organization requires university sign-off
• March 27, 2024: SFU updated the workflow to replace the paper 'SFU signature sheet' with an online form: Kuali Proposals
• If you have questions regarding how to login or complete a Kuali proposal, please contact Anikó Takács-Cox, Director, Research Services, at ata26@sfu.ca

*New* Faculty of Science Deadlines:  

All Kuali proposals: 'Submit for Review' 5 days before the internal deadline (i.e., 8 days prior to Agency deadline)

Kuali proposals that require a Special Request Form: Complete the special request online webform 15 days before the internal deadline (i.e., 18 days prior to Agency deadline). Upload the signed form to Kuali.

Kuali proposals that require a Research Security Risk Assessment Form: Submit the risk assessment form 15 days before the internal deadline (i.e., 18 days prior to Agency deadline).  Any questions about the form should be addressed to ors@sfu.ca.  The researcher can send the draft Form and draft application to ors@sfu.ca. Upload the signed form to Kuali.
