SeRA Proposal Development & Routing Form (PDRF)
Proposal PIF & PDRF Routing
School of Medicine Proposals
If a proposal will be submitted through the School of Medicine’s Research Management Group (RMG), the PI/ department should complete and route a SeRA Proposal Intake Form (PIF) to RMG for review and approval (recommended at least 30 days in advance of the sponsor deadline). The RMG Research Process Manager (RPM) will follow up with a draft budget, internal deadlines, and proposal guidance as needed.

- Non-Competing Continuation (NCC) / Progress Report PDRF - Use for projects which require project progress reports to be submitted by an institutional official to trigger subsequent year's funding e.g., most NIH awards.
- Renewal PDRF Guide - A renewal application competes for funding with all other peer reviewed applications for the given sponsor and must be developed as fully as though the applicant is applying for the first time.
- Resubmission PDRF Guide - A resubmission application is a previously unfunded application that has been modified following initial review and is now being resubmitted to the same sponsor for new consideration.
- Supplement PDRF Guide - A supplement application is a non-competing application [i.e. does NOT go through peer review] that provides additional funding to a currently funded project to meet increased costs that are within the scope of the approved project, but that were unforeseen when the new or competing renewal application was awarded.
- University Research Award PDRF Guide - University Research Awards (URAs) are Internal to Stanford research awards where funding is provided through an internal competitive application and award process.

When PDRFs are Returned for Edits
When a PDRF is being routed for approval each approver e.g. participating investigators, staff approvers, and institutional officials have the option to return the PDRF for either Minor or Major Edits.
When a PDRF is returned to an administrator for Minor Edits all PDRF fields can be edited EXCEPT the following which can only be edited when the PDRF is returned for Major Edits.
