How long does it usually take for a sponsor to review proposals and make funding decisions?
The normal turnaround time for Federal sponsors is at least six months from receipt of proposals. This length of time is due to the often used process of having each proposal reviewed by a panel of scientists, during which proposals are rated on various factors such as quality of the science, relatedness to sponsor goals, societal or economic impact, etc. Depending on the complexity and scope of the project, proposals can take up to a year in the review process and, on occasion, can involve negotiations of award amounts, revisions to scopes of work and, occasionally, site visits to the awardee institution.
