Susan et al.,

Everyone has the same problem.  We have resorted to a big (BIG) red
stamp which says "Insufficient Time for Review" which goes on our
internal form and a form that goes back to the investigator with the
various problems listed on it.  We will not stop an application from
going out unless the person is trying to do something illegal, but we
document that it was a mess coming in (late) and we could do little to
get it in shape in the time we had.  We also usually have a conversation
with his/her lab head about mentoring, if it is a junior person.

Joni.

We are having the same problems - no matter the funding agent.  In the
past everything was done to get a proposal submitted on time even when
the PI submitted it very late - resulting in sloppy work, late hours
etc.  We are eager to hear how others handle this. [edited]
