Office for Sponsored Programs:
In observance of the University's winter recess, the Office for Sponsored Programs (OSP) will close at noon on Thursday, December 24, 2015 and will resume operations on Monday, January 4, 2016. All proposals with deadlines that fall within these dates should be submitted to OSP no later than 5 p.m. on Wednesday, December 16, 2015. As always, earlier submissions are welcome. If meeting this deadline is not possible, please contact your Grants and Contracts Specialist so that we can plan accordingly.
If you anticipate submitting proposals with early January deadlines immediately following the break, please contact your Grants and Contracts Specialist as soon as possible so they can be prepared to turn your proposal around quickly in the New Year. Our goal during the coming weeks is to address as many pending items as possible before the break. Therefore, knowing about proposals that may come in during the first week of January will allow us to plan more effectively and provide you with better service.Please have new account set up requests to us no later than 5 p.m. on Thursday, December 17, 2015. Regular account set up will resume on Monday, January 4, 2016.
