If a campus unit cannot find a specific sponsor when using the Sponsor Chooser, they should follow the instructions which appear on that page.
The instructions read:
If you cannot locate the sponsor in our database, please complete the following three steps:
- Send an email to osptech@u.washington.edu with the name of the sponsor, and any contact information you have for the sponsor (website, physical address, etc.) and a brief description of the organization. OSP will research your request and update the sponsor database as appropriate.
- Type the word “Pending” in the Search for: field on this page, and then click Search. Select the Sponsor Type most appropriate for your sponsor from the list of pending sponsors. When you select a pending sponsor, you will be returned to the Application Details Page. Under Sponsor enter the sponsor’s name and address in the Address field.
- Upon confirmation from OSP that the sponsor has been added, update your eGC1 with the correct sponsor information and proceed to the PI and Personnel page to send SFI disclosure notifications.
