This page contains information for proposals to sponsors like the American Heart Association (AHA) and PhRMA. 

PhRMAImportant Considerations for Project Teams Submitting Proposals to these Sponsors

  • The final application in Proposal Central must be signed and printed as a PDF by the U-M investigator and uploaded to Section 6.3 of the Proposal Approval Form (PAF) worksheet before the required (PAF) is routed to ORSP.   
  • Sponsors like AHA and PHarma need to know the U-M Grants Officer (GO) or Signing Official (SO) and Fiscal Officer or Financial Official (FO). These are listed below.
  • Project teams must enable access for Shandra White in Proposal Central for ORSP to be able to access and approve the application in Proposal Central.
  • Before an application can be submitted by a Project Team in Proposal Central, ORSP must approve the application in Proposal Central (which ORSP will do after it approves the PAF).
  • ORSP offices close at 5 p.m. EST, regardless of sponsor deadline or time zone. See ORSP's Deadline Policy.
  • AHA applicants must be American Heart Association Professional Members. See details on Membership Application Fees (link is external).
