GRANTS AND CONTRACT PROCEDURES - Back

Reminder and Update: New Internal Deadline for Grant and Contract Proposals

As previously announced, the administrative portions* of grant or contract proposals, supplements and amendments, including electronic proposals, must be received by the Office of Research Administration (ORA) not less than three full business days prior to the sponsor due date. Proposals received by ORA later than three full business days prior to the Sponsor due date will no longer be reviewed by ORA for submission prior to the due date. (Please note: contract review and negotiation after sponsors have accepted proposals will often take several weeks.)

The School of Medicine and University have examined the feasibility of referral of late proposals to an approved external consultant who would have staff available to apply the same criteria employed by ORA. However, we have found no external consultants willing to do review in less than three days.
