class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Definition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The term \u201cPre-proposals\u201d encompasses anything officially submitted to a sponsor prior to submission of a full proposal. This includes white papers, notices of intent, concept papers, and preliminary proposals. Pre-proposals for projects in which UM will be a subaward or collaborator, and pre-proposals for a limited competition are also covered by this policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Policy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All pre-proposals that require institutional endorsement prior to submission must be submitted to ORA for review through the Notice of Intent (NOI) function in PARS <strong>5 business days*<\/strong> prior to submission.&nbsp; Institutional endorsement means any proposals submitted through a federal agency portal or any proposal requiring signature by a University of Maine authorized official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>* <\/strong>Exception: If a pre-proposal includes a budget which cannot be changed after submission, it must be routed through PARS and must follow the ORA Proposal Submission Timeline of 15 business days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reason for Policy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior notification of pre-proposals is required for the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To ensure compliance with the sponsor guidance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To ensure adequate staffing is available to review and submit pre-proposals that require institutional endorsement or submission through an online portal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading

campus contact information in pre-proposals that do not require institutional endorsement.&nbsp; Failure to include the correct campus contact information may delay the submission of or preclude the PI from submitting a full proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pre-Proposals that require a detailed budget<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain sponsors may require the submission of a detailed budget along with the pre-proposal.&nbsp; If a detailed budget is required, the PI is responsible for following all University and sponsor guidelines and policies when developing the budget, including the correct application of fringe, <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/ora\/f-and-a-guidance\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/ora\/f-and-a-guidance\/\"><strong>F&amp;A<\/strong><\/a> and other standard University rates. &nbsp;The Office of Research Administration is available to review pre-proposal budgets provided that adequate time is allowed for the review (typically 5-15 business days)<strong>*<\/strong>.&nbsp; Failure to include an accurate budget may result in significant changes in the proposed pre-proposal budget and full proposal budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>*<\/strong> Exception: 15 business days will be required when a detailed budget is required AND cannot be
