SUBJECT:

UCSD Proposal Number Service

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Web-based tool that provides Departments/ORUs with the ability to generate their own official UCSD proposal number for any proposal submissions. This web-based tool enhances the current process by expanding the methods by which a UCSD proposal number can be obtained.

Department/ORU staff will still have the ability to call the Office of Contract and Grant Administration (OCGA), SIO Contract and Grant Office, and Health Sciences Sponsored Projects Pre-Award Office (HSSPPO) to obtain their UCSD Proposal Numbers.

The new UCSD Proposal Number Service tool can be accessed via the Blink Research tab. For detailed information on how to use the tool, please see http://blink.ucsd.edu/go/proposalnumber

For questions regarding this announcement and the UCSD Proposal Number Service project, please contact Lyle Kafader, SPEAR Program Director, at lkafader@ucsd.edu or at (858) 534-6087.
