I agree with the comment about the "staffing nightmare."  It was difficult
enough with six major deadlines a year . . . we now have a deadline 24 times
a year for NIH alone (not to mention all the RFAs/RFPs that can be due any
day)!

I agree that the 5th will still be a heavy deadline date and would add that
my
concern is the spreading of the deadlines from the 25th of one month through
the middle of the next will be a staffing nightmare.  Instead of not
allowing
time off during the week prior to the first of each of the deadline months,
we
now have many more dates to work around.
