PEER is a Vanderbilt system
• Paperless Environment for Electronic Review
• A web-based program, or “application” for OSP to transact business with our customers
• Electronic submission of numerous business items including grant-related requests and certifications, research and service/consulting contracts, and more
• Purpose: Speed turn around times, increase compliance, track workflow, and reduce paper usage

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
• When submitting a proposal, PI/Co-Investigators must complete a Conflict of Interest Certification in PEER• Certification states whether or not they have
a significant (<$5,000) interest in the project that is being submitted for funding• Once notification is received that an award is
eminent, a review will be conducted by the Faculty Affairs Office to determine if a conflict exists. • Once this review has been completed,
spending on an award may begin.8

instances of non-compliance

![Page 23: GRANTS PROCESS VANDERBILT Office of Sponsored Programs 1 @](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d965503460f94a7e991/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CORRECTING REJECTED PROPOSALS
• In working with a rejected proposal, there is no need to copy it, just open the rejected proposal, correct all errors and reroute for approval.
• Units that previously approved the proposal will need to approve it again; however, in some instances units may be bypassed (request this in PEER) to expedite the process.
