OHSU

Notice of Intent

The OHSU Foundation Office of Corporate & Foundation Relations serves as a clearinghouse for OHSU involvement with corporations and foundations. We ask that all investigators notify us before submitting an application or letter of intent to organizations on the President's List by submitting a Notice of Intent Form.

WHY IS THERE A NOTICE OF INTENT PROCESS?

The purpose of the OHSU Foundation notice of intent process is to coordinate OHSU's fundraising efforts, so that we maximize the available resources. Submitting notice to the OHSU Foundation helps to ensure that OHSU's faculty members have the best chances of being awarded grants and not being excluded from competition because of institutional miscommunication. This process allows us to honor the guidelines of corporations and private foundations interested in making gifts and grants to OHSU and helps us build better relationships with our funders.

HOW CAN THIS PROCESS HELP YOU?

The OHSU Foundation Office of Corporate & Foundation Relations can help:

  • Ensure that multiple investigators or competing applications are not submitted concurrently
  • Provide comprehensive information about previously submitted and funded proposals
  • Provide first-hand information about foundations often not found on their website
  • Connect you with other funded investigators
  • Engage key leadership in moving discussions forward about your project
  • Help you strategize about how to approach the organization
  • Contact organizations to share project ideas
  • Arrange meetings and site visits when appropriate
If you would like to apply for funding from a private source, please submit your completed Notice of Intent Form at ohsufcfr@ohsu.edu.

 

Please note

  • The Notice of Intent process is previously known as the Clearance and Tracking process
  • This form is NOT required for internal and quasi-internal funding such as Friends of Doernbecher, Medical Research Foundation (MRF), Gerlinger Awards, Tartar Trust, etc.
  • This form is required for Collins Medical Trust
  • This form is only required for organizations on the President's List
  • This form can be submitted anywhere from a couple of months to a week before submission
