Proposal Deadlines

In order to ensure a manageable workload for our staff, superior quality of service for our faculty and researchers, and a streamlined process, the following deadlines have been established for proposal submissions.

Proposals may be categorized as standard, complex, or very large.

Examples of complicating elements 

• Direct costs between $2M and $10M per year
• Cost sharing or IDC waiver requested
• Multi-institutional collaboration, including subawards where we are prime or a subawardee
• Construction grants
• Require additional space
• A foreign sponsor 
• The proposal is for a contract, or the sponsor’s funding opportunity announcement states that the resulting award may be a contract
• Proposal requires a PI Exception to Policy

Limited submission opportunities 

Limited submission opportunities may have additional deadlines to enable down-selection.
