Administrators and investigators completing a Form 0136 for proposals with open-ended deadlines should enter the date by which they would like the Office of Sponsored Programs to submit the proposal.
The Office of Sponsored Programs requires at least 3 business days to review grant proposals and accompanying paperwork, and at least 5 business days for Federal contract proposals and paperwork. Therefore, it is important to take departmental and school review timelines into account when listing the deadline date to ensure a thorough Office of Sponsored Programs review of the application materials before submission.
