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.
Research Teams do not have the ability to do new conflict of interest disclosures from April 1 – 9, 2023. Click here for implementation schedule.
Beginning April 10, 2023, the Principal Investigator (PI) or his/her delegate must create a Triggering Event (TE) in eDMS for every project (e.g., new, yearly renewals, supplement requests, no cost extension applications) each project year except for 1) final reports and 2) BRANY projects.
Once the Triggering Event is created, the investigator will be prompted by email to complete project specific conflict of interest questions.
Sinai Central houses historical Investigator Forms (IFs) and conflicts of interest information prior to April 1, 2023.
Includes GCO, Finance, COI, and other related application information
Tip: GCO forms in .xls format work best and should be downloaded using Chrome and not Firefox

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.
OSF DMSP Checklist
The Working Group from the Open Science Framework (OSF) has developed a checklist for researchers.
