Re: A Plea for Your Experience in Enforcing Grant Subm ission Deadline s Kathy Cataneo 01 Mar 2004 16:23 EST
Dear John, Despite a 5-calendar-working-days advanced notice "policy", we always submit proposals to meet sponsor deadlines. Our project directors understand that should the dean or our office find an irresolvable issue resulting from our post-hoc review, we reserve the right to withdraw the proposal from sponsor consideration. Also, with less than 5 days notice, we return the endorsed applications to the project director for him/her to send to the sponsor so that we can avoid the additional mailing expenses for next or second day delivery. Kathy Cataneo, Executive Director of Sponsored Research University of New Hampshire -----Original Message----- From: McCann, John [mailto:xxxxxx@EVERGREEN.EDU] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 2:15 PM To: xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG Subject: [RESADM-L] A Plea for Your Experience in Enforcing Grant Submission Deadline s Our business office is currently in the process of developing a policy to enforce lead time requirements for approval signatures which would - in effect - lengthen our internal grants approval process and impose a grants submission deadline. I think such deadlines are unenforcable and undesirable. The job of our grants office is to facilitate grants submission, not impose barriers - and PIs have major time investments in grant proposals. While we specify that PIs should allow at least seven working days for internal reviews - and we yelp at late submissions - we always submit viable proposals. I know that the list has discussed this subject in the past, and I've found those e-mails, but I'd really appreciate a large number of you briefly answering these three questions and providing the names of your institutions: 1. Does your institution enforce grants submissions deadlines? 2. Why or why not? Thank you........
