For a PI to begin a full proposal, their pre-proposal must be Approved for Full Proposal submission via FMP.
During full proposal submission, PIs submit proposals via the full proposal submission interface, and eSG Administrators manage the full proposal submission process via the Administrative Review web interface or the RFP FMP interface. The Administrative Review interface is only for retrieving information, while the RFP FMP interface is for managing the information.
For a full description of the RFP FMP interface, go to :
To allow a PI to submit a full proposal, go to the pre-proposal in FMP and toggle 'Approved for FP?' to Yes. This will cause the pre-proposal's Control Panel status to switch to 'Start Full Proposal', and allow them to begin a full proposal.
Refer to the
full proposal submission instructions
used by PIs during a 2011 MITSG RFP. While instructions sets vary among calls and eSG programs, the core features of the full proposal submission system are essentially the same, and are described fully in these instructions. The instructions linked-to here will update as the full proposal submission interface changes.

PI: Proposal's primary investigator (PI).
Title: Proposal title. Click to open printer-friendly pop-up window of proposal summary.
