Paffrath Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 11:41 AM To: xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG 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. Dennis J.

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.
