How much lead time is needed to have a grant process through the CVM ORGS and MSU SPA?
Our office always works to meet all deadlines even when we get late notification of a submission or late submission of the grant to our office. It is imperative that the PI make sure if the deadline for submission is a “postmarked by date” or “received by date”. For submission of hardcopy grants (via USPS, UPS, or FedEx, not electronic submission), completed grant applications can be given proper care and attention if the grant is in the CVM ORGS, three working days prior to “postmarked by date” grants and four working days prior to “received by date” grants. Grants submitted to the CVM ORGS with less lead time than requested will be processed; however, there is less chance of detecting and correcting errors when adequate time is not allowed. Refer to question below regarding Grants.gov submission to determine timeline for submission through SPA.
