Use the Project Development Form to develop the rationale and strategy for your grant project.

All faculty and staff who want to be a Principal Investigator (PI) for an external  grant or contract are required to complete the OSRP Intent to Submit an External Grant or Contract Proposal form.

All Principal Investigators (PIs) are required to complete this Financial Conflict of Interest Form (FCOI) and email it to OSRP Executive Director Laneika K. Musalini.

To serve as PI, one must be a full-time employee of MSU Denver. Several employment titles automatically confer PI/co-PI status due to the roles and responsibilities that come with that title. Titles of Professor, Associate Professor, and Assistant Professor and to library faculty holding the titles of Senior Librarian, Librarian, and Associate Librarian. Other administrative titles are also eligible for automatic PI status provided the individual is a full-time employee: Vice President, Associate Vice President, Assistant Vice President, Dean, Associate Dean, Assistant Dean, and Director. However, Emeritus faculty do not automatically confer PI status. Emeritus faculty may serve as co-PI or senior key personnel but not as PI.

To confirm your Principal Investigator eligibility, please complete the PI Eligibility Form. The person requesting PI eligibility should complete the form and route it to the immediate supervisor and Dean for approvals before submitting to your OSRP Proposal Development Specialist.

In cases of limited submission solicitations, OSRP will have an internal competition to select the most competitive candidate(s) and project ideas to submit a proposal. If you plan to submit a proposal for consideration, your proposal submission MUST be coordinated with the Office of Sponsored Research & Programs. This process is critical as extra submissions can result in all submissions being denied. For additional information please refer to the Limited Submission Competitions Guidance.

Principal Investigator cash match applications for Spring 2026 closed on December 12, 2025. The application deadline for the next round will be announced soon.

For proposal submissions requiring cost sharing, after you have secured the cost share please provide OSRP with this Cost Sharing Agreement Form
