SPONSORED PROJECTS MANUAL

From Project Proposal to Closing

This manual reflects a chronological sequence for submitting a project proposal, administering the project, and closing the project. It is intended to ease the burden of sponsored project administration so that faculty and staff can direct their efforts toward the academic and technical objectives of the sponsored project.

The manual is in Portable Document Format (.pdf) and can be viewed by using the Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't have the Reader, USC provides it free at:

http://software.usc.edu/index.aspx 

Adobe uses the "Hand Tool" initially, however when you hover your cursor over a link (e.g. page 5) it turns to a pointing finger (the same one displayed to access a web link). Clicking takes you to that item and page number. 

If you have any questions about using, downloading, or installing the Reader, please use the "Contact DCG" link below to request help. Because of the variety of platforms in use, it may be necessary, in certain cases, to contact your local technical support person.
