NIH Commons
If you are applying to any NIH agency, you will need a Commons account. Please contact ORSP to set this up. If you already have an account but are not affiliated with Queens College, please not do not attempt to create a new account. For new accounts, we will need your Social Security number, birth date, and email address; if you’ve had NIH support in the past, you must provide this information as well.
National Science Foundation Research.gov and Fastlane
If you are applying to NSF, you will need a Research.gov/Fastlane account. ORSP can set this up for you with your email address, terminal degree and year, and phone and fax numbers. If you have an existing account, please update your profile to reflect Queens College as your home institution.
Grants.gov (You do not need to register with grants.gov to prepare your proposal!)
Queens College is a registered organization that handles most submissions. Exceptions are for individual grants that are awarded directly to an individual. You will need to use grants.gov to obtain the agency’s application form(s) and instructions for each particular grant. These forms change often; please be sure to download the correct application for the program that you want. In addition, all grants.gov forms are in Adobe Acrobat. You do not need the full version to use the forms, but you do need the latest Acrobat Reader (available at Adobe.com for free) and you might need software to generate pdf (portable document format) documents to attach to your application. Please contact us if you need help.

Subcontracts & Sub-awards:
If you are collaborating with someone at another institution, you might need to include a subcontract or sub-award in your application. It is wise to have your collaborator check with his or her home institution about when a subcontract or sub-award is required. Generally speaking, if the collaborator is getting paid during his or regular appointment period, requesting funds for a graduate research assistant or other employee, or needs funds for laboratory costs or other research supplies, you MUST include a subcontract in the budget and management plan. If the collaborator is provided only limited support for a project that requires him or her to be at his or her laboratory or use his or her institutional resources, then that individual may qualify to be paid as a consultant. Please provide ORSP with additional lead time if you have one or more collaborators on your project. Items ORSP needs for a subcontract are the other organization’s DUNS number, administrative grant contract information, name of the PI at the other organization, a scope of work, a letter of commitment from the institution’s authorizing official, and a budget. All subcontractors must complete a subrecipient commitment form. ORSP will assist in establishing this documentation. For more information, click here.
Cost-Sharing
Cost-sharing should not be included in any proposal unless it is required by the sponsor/granting agency. Cost-sharing will not be allowed on any proposal to a federal agency unless specifically mandated in the guidelines. If you plan on utilizing volunteers in your project or will commit time that is not reimbursed by the grant, DO NOT QUANTIFY that time. We will not submit your proposal if it involves proposed cost-sharing that has not been approved prior to the grant submission. Proposals that include cost-sharing must be submitted to ORSP for approval at least 15 days prior to the deadline. If the cost-sharing is not mandated by the agency, approval from the Dean, Chair, College Provost and CUNY University Provost for Research is required.
