Pre-Award Services
The UCLA Health JCCC Research Administration Unit (RAU) provides pre-award support to principal investigators. We provide a comprehensive timeline tailored to their needs and specific grant application. We consider the time needed to prepare a strong application and highlight both the sponsor and OCGA deadlines. OCGA requires proposals to be submitted to the Proposal Intake Team via email for review and institutional approval at least five business days in advance for basic grants and at least ten business days in advance for team science and other larger grant mecha nisms. It is recommended to submit your application to OCGA as soon as possible to ensure a thorough review and increase the chances of a successful application.
