We have a 2-day "drop dead" lead time! (yeh right!)

We also have a waiver policy - see below. However, we rarely invoke it unless the PI has been uncooperative during the development process and has missed most deadlines so that we can not do a significant review of the proposal.

Generally, we always try to submit - the sacrifice would be to quality. We have withdrawn submitted proposal if a subsequent review uncovers something that should not have gone out.

Any final proposal received with less than a two-day lead time will not be submitted.
Exceptions to this policy will require a signed, written justification from the Dean/ Director/ Equivalent Executive Officer indicating that they have reviewed and approved the contents of the proposal (including any institutional commitments), that the proposal is a college/unit and/or an institutional priority, and is determined to be in good enough form to warrant submission. Since these exceptions will not allow for the normal amount of review time, OSP and Research Administration make no assurances as to the quality or content of these proposals.

The University of Washington has a policy which you can find here<http://www.washington.edu/research/osp/gim/gim19.html>. We have an early deadline (7 business days) and then a "drop dead" deadline (3 business days). There is also a waiver process.  Feel free to contact me at the email address below if you would like more information.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Informal Survey regarding the enforcement of internal proposal deadlines.

Hello everyone,
 I know that almost every institution has a formal policy regarding internal deadlines related to when things are due to the sponsored research office before a sponsor's deadline, but I was wondering how many institutions actually enforce that deadline, and will not submit proposals that come in after?  If they do come in after the internal deadline, are there additional approvals or a process that is needed to be completed before you submit?

You can respond offline directly to me if you prefer.
