Proposals submitted by High Point University faculty carry the University’s commitment to fulfilling the project if awarded. This institutional commitment requires proposals are properly reviewed and approved to ensure they conform to High Point University policies and procedures.
All proposals including new, renewal, and supplemental proposals and subsequent revised versions, must be internally routed through Cayuse Sponsored Projects (SP) for review.
