Deadlines
Early Submission of Proposals Highly Recommended
Grants.gov is a new system and it is recognized that there may be errors and problems with your first attempts using Grants.gov. By submitting your Grants.gov proposal early, DSR and other local experts will be able to help identify problems that can be corrected to allow submission and acceptance of the proposal by Grants.gov.
For all agencies other than NIH, DSR highly recommends you make every effort to submit your Grants.gov proposal to DSR no less than 5 business days prior to the agency deadline.
For NIH grant submissions, we highly recommend you make every effort to submit your Grants.gov proposals to DSR at least 10 business days prior to the NIH deadline. This additional time is needed to allow for the NIH Commons additional system check of the application. If fatal errors are identified in the check, they must be corrected and the application resubmitted through Grants.gov to meet the original agency deadline.
We thank you all for your help and participation in this transition to the federal government’s Grants.gov electronic proposal submission system.
