Susan G. Komen for the Cure Electronic Submission and Five-Day Deadline to SPO

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation has a new electronic application submission system. Because this is a new, untested system, it is critical that researchers submit one printed copy of the full application with a signed Proposal Review Form to the Sponsored Projects Office at least five working days before the Komen deadline. If the application is not received at SPO five working days before the deadline, SPO cannot guarantee review and successful submission of the application. The UC Berkeley policy on electronic proposal submission is available on CalMessages. Please note that the preferred deadline to SPO is 10 working days before the agency deadline to allow time for thorough review.

Komen Postdoctoral Fellowships - Full Application
* Deadline to SPO: October 9
* Deadline to Komen Foundation: October 16
