Submitting a Proposal

Compliance
When submitting a proposal or accepting an award, you as the investigator as well as UWA as the fiscal agent, are committing to a number of assurances, certifications, terms, and conditions. It is very important that the investigator understand these compliance issues before submission and before award.
