Proposal submission: Routing of proposal to the sponsor

Once the application is reviewed and cleared for submission by ORA/ORS, ORA/ORS will send a message indicating that the reviewed version is the version Duke expects to be submitted. This version is submitted to the sponsor via the appropriate channel by the responsible party:
