I hope other institutions have a policy of just not sending applications that come after the internal deadline. More chance for ours to be successful :) We will do everything possible to get an application to the sponsor. We have a 4 day requirement for the complete Grants.gov application to be in our server prior to the sponsor deadline. If it is there a minuter prior to the deadline, we will still try to submit it. Deal with problems later. However, if a late arriving submission fails after our best efforts, we do not take responsibility. We have had a couple arrive late and have errors. Luckily NIH allows late submissions, if the original deadline is met. I'll bet they will begin to cut down on this and someday in the near future, will not allow a late second submission. The sooner the better. In the meantime, we explain to PI's that it is in THEIR best interests to get applications in early as these Agency computer deadlines are firm. We can now relate the story of those folks in Boston, plus a couple of near run submissions here. Anyone have a case of missing a Grants.gov deadline. A few of these to share with PI's would help prove that best interest story.

We didn't survey, but googled policies at other institutions. We found that many use a five-day policy, and several were between 3 and 7 days.
