I have never heard of such a policy either. It sounds like a sure-fire way to discourage research.

It sounds as if the institution is either terrified that someone is going to do something embarrassing (and doesn't trust its faculty) or that it wants to discourage grant-seeking (a peculiar reason, if true, because external grants bring a great deal to the institution's table.) I would also note that NIH no longer requires grant-seekers to get its own IRB approval until the grant is approved. However, my last point could be a clue. Your institution may not want such a surprise. I would want to know the reasoning behind this odd policy.

Subject: Institutional Grant Policies



Our institution is in the process of developing an internal review process for any and all grants (federal, research, private, foundation, development, etc.). As it currently stands, our administration wants faculty to complete a 3 page document including abstract, preliminary budget, and signatures from at least 4 different administrators. On top of that, one must consult with a variety of different offices across campus to complete the form in many cases. All of this is just for "Concept Approval". The entire process must be repeated for "Final Approval" at which time the grant must be written and a detailed budget included. The impression I have is that the administration can refuse to allow one to submit a/any grant for a wide variety of reasons after it has already been written.

Do any of you have formalized policies in place that
regulate/govern/control grant writing and grant submission activities at
your institutions?

Thanks for your responses.

The Master in the Art of Living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his intellectual passions. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him – he is always doing both.
