charlie-
to add to chuck's note -- at gallaudet, our advisory to investigators
indicates that proposals must be submitted to our office 5 working days
prior to the deadline since we review, correct, etc., etc., in addition
to completing all forms, photocopying, collating, and shipping.  in
practice, however, we often turn around proposals in about 1/2 day.
does this help?
