How do I submit my proposal?

The proposals are submitted through an electronic system called eIGF. The link to it is https://www.research.missouri.edu/webapps/funding and you can also find a link to it on the main page called Programs Reviewed by the Research Council Committee. When you log in to eIGF at the top you will see Home, My Projects and My Account. First complete the My Account information. After you are done with the My Account section then select My Projects then Create New Project then select the program you wish to apply to (i.e. Faculty International Travel).

How do I print the cover page and uploaded documents?

As you complete the sections called Applicants, Proposal Information, Compliance, Abstract and the My Account section the system is creating a cover page for you. If you go to the main My Project page and the Action column has a pull down menu. One of the options is Print Cover Page. You can select Print Cover Page at any time before or after you submit the proposal. Also notice on that pull down menu is Documents which will take you to the documents that you uploaded. On the cover page you will find a signature line. The signatures only need to be on the hard copy you turn into 205 Jesse Hall. If you are still having trouble, email me again.

Can a staff member or student complete the proposal for me?

We have set up the system where staff members can create or edit projects for the faculty. If you wanted to have that capability, you could start a project and designate yourself as an assistant or the faculty member could add you to their project as an assistant. Those designated as assistants can view and edit the projects but their names do not appear in the print outs or the Committee view. The My Account information will still need to be edited by the faculty member or you can send the information to Melissa H. Baldwin at melissa@missouri.edu and she can edit it. If you send the My Account information to Melissa, please check the My Account section to see what is needed.

How can I delete uploaded documents?

E-mail Melissa H. Baldwin at melissa@missouri.edu and let her know which documents you would like deleted.

What is Copy Form?

This feature is used when an applicant wants to electronically copy the cover page information without starting over with a new proposal. This is not to be used to print to your printer.

My date of employment is wrong. How do I fix it?
