October 1 -- MAJOR Proposal Deadline!
Historically October 1 is the busiest proposal deadline of the year. While most faculty are aware that it is the deadline for new proposals to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), October 1 is also a deadline for many other agencies. Again this year, the number of applications submitted is expected to be larger than ever. Research and Sponsored Programs normally requires three (3) full working days to process a proposal. In order to be able to handle the large number of applications anticipated, we request that proposals be received by our office no later than September 24, 2003. At a minimum, an advanced copy of the budget and a draft of the Route Sheet should be submitted by this date. Please note that all proposals are processed in the order received.
