Sponsored Research Office
Meharry’s Sponsored Research Office provides vital administrative, regulatory, and budgetary support at every stage of externally funded research—ranging from application development through award closeout. Our expert team guides investigators on funding opportunities, budget planning, certifications, progress reporting, consortium agreements, and institutional compliance (e.g., F&A rates, federal assurances). We encourage early contact to ensure personalized attention and seamless submission, so faculty can focus on their science while we manage the details behind the awards.

Grant Submission Form
Under the new Meharry application submission guidelines, the PI and chair sign off on Grants Submission form (GSF). The PI, chair, or the departmental business administrator forwards a copy of the signed GSF, budget, budget justification, and specific aims to the dean, and provost for review, approval and sign off. The Grants Management Office is copied during this pre-application phase of the process and expects to receive the complete application package at least ten business days before the funding sponsor’s deadline.
