Initial Submission to OSP-CM
Submit a complete package to OSP-CM in PEER (include copy of contract, statement of work or protocol, other relevant documents/disclosures, and initial budget).
Key Notes:
- Final budgets are not required up front. Contract negotiation between OSP-CM and sponsor typically occurs simultaneously with the budget negotiation taking place between the department and the sponsor.
- You will receive an e-mail within 48 hours identifying the Contract Analyst assigned to negotiate your agreement.
OSP-CM's target timeframe to review, make changes as necessary and send a redline draft to the sponsor is 5-10 business days from receipt of the complete package submittal from the department.
