POD3 Team:  

If you are planning to submit a grant for contact proposal to a federal, foundation, association or other non-profit sponsor, a dedicated team of pre-award specialists housed in GW's POD3 Team will facilitate your proposal routing and submission through the myResearch portal.  

Notice of Intent Form

A staff member from POD3 will contact you (within 24-48 hours) and be assigned to serve as point of contact to facilitate the proposal submission process. 

Please submit FINAL documents on time to POD3 so they can review your final documents prior to the routing process, which is five (5) business days before the sponsor deadline.

Please note all ancillary reviews should be approved in MyResearch and all files should be final at the time of routing. No changes to the budget once the routing has started.

Please see the deadline submission chart below:
