Proposal Transmittal and Approval Process (PTAP)
All applications for extramural funding or the support of research, training, or public service related to research or training must be processed by the Office of Research Services (ORS) and signed by an authorized institutional official. Faculty applying for external funding are asked to provide information via the on-line Proposal Transmittal and Approval Process (PTAP). The PTAP process uses a secure system with user names and passwords. It is required to have valid Loyola User ID and password to use the system. For assistance, please contact the ORS helpdesk at 773 508-2471.
