How much time do we need to assemble a federal grant application?
It is usually wise to begin developing a grant proposal four to eight weeks prior to the deadline, depending upon the size of the proposal. While it is possible to assemble the full application in a two week period or less, you are more likely to make serious mistakes and not submit a polished proposal. Federal grant deadlines are not negotiable. If your proposal arrives late, more than likely it will be returned to your agency unopened. With the grants.gov system, proposals can be submitted online, but technology glitches and the complexity of the submission process can make you miss a deadline.
