The sponsor I am applying to has an electronic system that allows or requires the PI to “push the button.” What is the process and deadline for this situation?
Regardless of the submission mechanism, proposals requiring electronic submission must follow the same processing rules as paper proposals; i.e., they must be routed through the appropriate department/unit chair and dean’s office, and approved by SPA prior to submission to the sponsoring agency. PIs should complete their electronic proposal and route the PRF to SPA no later than 24 hours prior to scheduled deadline to ensure adequate review by SPA and to avoid technical delays not under SPA’s control. Upon review and acceptance, SPA will contact the PI by e-mail with approval to submit unless other arrangements have been made. Earlier submission of other electronic proposals to SPA is encouraged in order to avoid unforeseen delays. Please note that some sponsors set deadlines using Eastern Standard Time (EST).
