The form request UMKC institutional information, such as our DUNS number, Federal ID number, links to our recent audit, etc.The form is not sent to the prospective funder, but is used internally for the purpose of facilitating preparation of the subcontract.

Criteria for Obtaining Non-Technical Preparation Support

To obtain this service, the requestor must submit materials one month prior to the submission deadline in order to get the completed forms back in time. 

Steps to Initiate Non-Technical Preparation Support

The process should be initiated by contacting the ORS pre-award administrator assigned to the requestor’s department and scheduling a personal meeting or by sending an e-mail to inform the person of the requestor’s intent to request non-technical preparation support.  If a personal meeting is requested, the requestor can determine the location of the meeting.

Regardless of the method used to initiate the process, the requestor will need to do the following:

  • Identify the forms to be prepared by the ORS pre-award administrator, i.e. budget, current and pending (C&P), SF424 (R&R).
  • Identify the level of support needed, i.e. transfer of information from a Word document to the sponsor’s form, format information to conform to the sponsor’s requirement(s), etc.
  • Upload the forms.Please click the following link to upload form(s):

It is anticipated that the requestor will receive the completed document(s) within two (2) weeks of making the request.  However, the turn-around time could be extended depending on periods of heavy proposal submission deadlines.
