All sponsored project applications and a subset of ISMMS supported projects are prepared in InfoEd and routed for approval through the department(s) in which there are key personnel each year of the project. Please review GCO’s complete submission requirements including exceptions here.
All sponsored projects must be submitted through InfoEd and reviewed by the GCO before submitting to an external funding agency, including those where an institutional signature isn’t required.
The following documents from the GCO will assist you in getting started with the application process:
InfoEd is the software program the Icahn School of Medicine uses to internally route and manage all research and sponsored project applications excluding BRANY projects.
InfoEd is also used to submit competitive, single project National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal sponsored projects electronically to these agencies. These applications are called “System to System Submissions” or “S2S” applications. InfoEd is the system used to transmit the application directly to the extramural funding agency.
All other applications are referred to as “Non System to System Submissions” or “non-S2S.” For non-S2S applications, the system is used internally at ISMMS only and not to submit the application to the extramural funding agency.
The Principal Investigator (PI) or his/her delegate must create an Investigator Form (IF) on Sinai Central for every project (e.g., new, yearly renewals, supplement requests, no cost extension applications) each project year except for 1) final reports submitted to the Grants and Contracts Office (GCO) and 2) BRANY projects
To access the COI and S&D forms, login to Sinai Central; go to GCO, Investigator Forms. Click on the instruction links below for policy, procedure, and technical information. The instructions include information on who is required to complete the forms.

Preparation Tools
DMPTool is a free, open-source, online application that helps researchers create data management plans (DMPs). These plans are now required by many funding agencies as part of the grant proposal submission process. The DMPTool provides a click-through wizard for creating a DMP that complies with funder requirements.
NIMH/NIAAA Cost Estimator Tool
This cost estimator tool may be useful for projects that involve extensive work with sensitive human data and that have highly specified finder requirements.
