PIs submit proposals via the *full proposal submission interface *during the full proposal submission phase of two-phase calls or during submission for single-phase calls involving only the full proposal interface.
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.
A pre-proposal may be noted as encouraged or discouraged for full submission via the Recommendation for Full Submit field. For a PI to actually begin a full proposal after having submitted a pre-proposal, their pre-proposal must be Approved for Full Proposal submission via FMP.
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 developing 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.

Full Proposal Information

Proposal ID: This ID is a concatenation of the PI's last name and a random four-digit number. This ID accompanies the proposal throughout the proposal process and through its lifespan as a funded project. Files and folders generated in the eSG system that relate solely to this proposal/project use this ID as their naming scheme. Click to open printer-friendly pop-up window of proposal summary.
PI: Proposal's primary investigator (PI).
Title: Proposal title. Click to open printer-friendly pop-up window of proposal summary.
Download: Compiled full proposals uploaded by the eSG Administrator via FMP appear here. The submit date in this column is the timestamp for the last time the PI clicked the 'Submit Proposal' button in the full proposal submission interface.
