Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Electronic proposal lead time
At Utah State University, we have instituted a new policy which requires
all proposed applications be submitted to my office 2 full working days
before the Sponsor due date. If they are not submitted as per the
policy, USU will no longer be signing the applications or transmitting
them electronically. We have determined that there will most likely be
some exceptions to this rule, but there will be a fee attached to the
lateness of the proposal. Thankfully, the Vice President for Research,
the Research Council and our President are in full support of this. The
policy becomes effective as of May 1.

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Electronic proposal lead time
I tell researchers that electronic research administration will speed up
application review and award but those benefits will require sacrifice
on the
pre-submission side. When full implementation occurs and electronic
routing
for all approvals/signatures is part of the game, 4:58 proposals will be
a
thing of the past.
