Intent to Submit Website

The Intent to Submit (ITS) is a key step in the proposal submission process. It is intended to assist investigators by ensuring that their research is appropriate to the goals of HSR&D and VA. The ITS also provides HSR&D the opportunity to plan for resources and conduct other administrative functions that allow for an efficient and effective review cycle.

It is the responsibility of the R&D Administrative Officer at the center or facility to review the information that will be submitted to ensure accuracy and conformance to all requirements before the ITS is submitted. The ITS must be completed and submitted on-line approximately 6 weeks before a given proposal deadline (dates change each round -- check the ITS website for exact dates) in order for a proposal to be accepted for consideration. Proposals that have not complied with this requirement will not be accepted for review.

The Intent to Submit (ITS) web application is maintained by the ART program and can be accessed via the VA Intranet at http://art.puget-sound.med.va.gov/. (Please copy and paste this into the address bar of your browser if you have access to the VA Intranet.)
