AND...it's often the most productive PI that comes in with his/her proposal 3 hours before deadline. -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org] On Behalf Of Gene Stein Sent: Friday, December 12, 2008 12:18 PM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Informal Survey At one time or another we all would LIKE to have such a policy. But for most institutions, it's not realistic. To implement it, you must answer two questions: First, will the highest level of your university or organization buy into the plan?, and Second, are you willing to turn away a proposal with a high probability of success from your most productive PI when he/she brings you a proposal that's two or three days late? (Or when he/she gives you the proposal three hours before the deadline?) If you aren't willing to turn away your most productive PI, the plan won't work. If you accept a late proposal from one PI, you'll have to accept late proposals from all.
