Common Reasons for Proposal Delays

The following administrative issues may cause delays in proposal submission to a sponsor or result in negative funding decisions:

  • PI Certification Missing
  • Missing COI Disclosures
  • Incorrect formatting
  • Math errors in budget
  • Exceeding page limits
  • Incorrect Biosketch and/or Other Support format
  • Budgets that are not in line with the project goals
  • Omission of specific documents or requirements
  • Last minute revisions to project titles or corrections to sponsor-required naming conventions

Department research administrators and investigators are encouraged to contact OSP well in advance of a proposal deadline with any questions and to route proposals to OSP by the internal 4 business day deadline, so that any issues/errors can be addressed in advance of the sponsor deadline.
