UCF Research and Commercialization

Proposal Submission Guidelines

General Information

The Office of Research & Commercialization (ORC) Proposal Managers assist faculty who are pursuing funding from external and/or internal sources of support for their research projects.

Please keep in mind that the Office of Research & Commercialization is the only office vested with the authority to sign research proposals and contracts on behalf of the University of Central Florida. The Office of Research & Commercialization must verify that a proposal is current, complete, and accurate. Therefore,  ORC must review, approve, and sign all proposals, including all subcontracts, prior to submission to the funding agency. Please remember that faculty members are not authorized to submit proposals without prior College, Department, Center, Institute, and ORC review and approval.

The Office of Research & Commercialization is located in Suite 501 of the University Tower in Research Park. The office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and all business must be conducted during these hours unless advanced arrangements have been made with your assigned Proposal Manager.
