Accessing and Navigating the On-Line Application Submission System
APPLICATION STEPS
To complete the UARP electronic application, an applicant needs:
• Microsoft Word
• Scanner [if converting hard-copy items, such as letters of support, to PDF]
You will need Adobe Acrobat (or another mechanism) to convert to PDF format.
A. Creating a Proposal
Step 1: Access the online application site, ProposalCENTRAL.
Step 2: Enter as an applicant. This will take you to another web page. Here we strongly recommend you print out and closely follow the tutorials to help you register and fill out the application.
Step 3: Register as an applicant and then log in.
Step 4: Click on the “Grant Opportunities” tab to find the Universitywide AIDS Research Program as “Grantmaker” (scroll down to the bottom of the page). The “Programs” column will indicate the grant mechanisms and when clicked will link to a pdf file with UARP application guildelines/instructions for that mechanism. Print out the guildelines/instructions.
(If you are returning to continue working on an application from a previous session, the most recent version of your proposal will appear and can be edited by clicking on it)
Step 5: To apply go to the far right, and click in the last column on “apply now”
Step 6: Fill out each of the proposal sections listed in the table on the left hand side of the screen including Title Page, Applicant/PI, Institution and Contacts, Key Personnel, Abstract, and Organization Assurances. When satisfied with all of the information within a section, press next to save any changes and proceed to the next section.
