To be considered “on time” and in compliance with the Vice Chancellor for Research Policy on Late Proposal Submissions to SPO, proposals must be submitted to SPO five working days before the funding agency deadline with either a final or draft technical section and all other elements of the proposal complete and in final form.
If a proposal cannot be submitted on time, even with a draft technical section, the Principal Investigator should request an exception to the VCR’s late-proposal policy by submitting the VCR Late Proposal Approval Request Form.
The VCR Late Proposal Approval Request Form has been revised as of 7/2011. The revised form, available on the SPO web site, should be used for all future requests.
