data related to all proposals submitted as of July 1, and
all new/continuing awards set to begin as of July 1;
maintaining legacy database for data validation and a
seamless transition between old and new systems.
 PreAward staff are pilot testing Proposal Development

click “Login” at left side and enter your WSU “W”
ID and network password (SSO).

Steps for Proposal Creation

 When you first make the decision to pursue an
external funding opportunity, either as the lead
applicant or a subaward, contact your PreAward
Specialist.
 Provide answers to a series of questions in order for
the PreAward Specialist to create the proposal
package in the Gateway.

Steps for Proposal Completion

 You will receive communication that a proposal has
been created in the Gateway.
 For S2S proposals, instead of building an individual
Grants.gov Adobe package, all forms and
attachments are completed/uploaded within the
Gateway proposal created.
 For non-S2S proposals, a minimum of a final budget,
budget justification, and abstract will be attached to
the Gateway proposal for routing purposes.
Budget Development

 Provide project budgetary needs information to your
PreAward Specialist, who will then translate it into
an Excel file for your review.
 Forward all budget changes to your PreAward
Specialist for updating.
 RSP will transfer all budget figures to the Gateway
package.
 The Excel file will be attached to the Internal
Documents tab, allowing for its review during
routing.
Internal Routing

FIVE (5) business days prior to submission
deadline, RSP must have the FINAL budget
(requested, cost share, and subcontractor
detailed budgets), justifications, and abstract.
When the budget is final and you provided the other
required routing items, notify your PreAward Specialist
to begin routing.
Email Notification of a Proposal for Review/Approval
Reviewer Dashboard
Recording Approval
Proposal Submission

TWO (2) business days prior to the submission
deadline, RSP must have the FINAL proposal
ready for submission.
 For S2S proposals, when the application is complete in
the Gateway, notify your PreAward Specialist for the
submission process.
 For non-S2S proposals, work with your PreAward
Specialist to complete sponsor-prescribed submission
procedures.
