Deadlines

OSPA Deadlines


Table	Deadline

Notification of pending submission	Submit notification via the Proposal Notification System. As soon as possible (at least three weeks before the sponsor deadline).
Limited Submission Program	Notification in advance is required; see limited submission procedures.
Electronic Submissions	An electronic copy of the final proposal must be provided for OSPA review at least ten business days in advance of the agency deadline. A completed proposal includes the agency forms and attachments, OSPA budget and budget justification, fully signed Proposal Checklist and any required compliance documents, cost share forms, and subrecipient documents, if applicable. Copies of the signed proposal will be sent to the PI and department chair in electronic PDF format. Last-minute submissions can overload the funding agency's system, or lead to other problems that prevent agency acceptance. OSPA will not be held responsible in these situations.
Hard Copy Proposals	Completed hard copy proposals must be provided for OSPA review at least ten business days before the agency mailing deadline if all you need is proposal review and sign-off. If you want OSPA to mail the proposal, provide it twelve business days before the agency deadline. A completed proposal includes the agency forms and attachments, OSPA budget and budget justification, fully signed Proposal Checklist, and any required compliance documents, cost share forms, and subrecipient documents, if applicable. Copies of the signed proposal will be sent to the PI and department chair in electronic PDF format. PIs are responsible for making any photocopies required by the agency and for paying mailing costs.
