OSP Holiday Deadlines Over Winter Break - 2017
DATE: November 15, 2017
TO: Business Managers/Department Chairs/Center Directors/Faculty

Assistant Director, Office of Sponsored Programs
RE: OSP deadlines over the Winter Break, Dec. 23, 2017 – Jan. 1, 2018
________________________________________________________________
This is a special announcement concerning the OSP schedule for reviewing/approving proposals with deadlines to federal and other agencies that occur during Winter Break this year.
Please note:
All proposals with submission deadlines occurring between December 23, 2017 and January 1, 2018 must be fully routed, ready for submission, and released to the OSP office by the close of business on December 19, 2017; and: all proposals with submission deadlines occurring between January 2 - 3, 2018 (the first 2 business days after the break) will be due to OSP by the close of business on December 20 & 21, 2017, respectively.
This schedule is consistent with our current policy, which requires the submission of complete proposals to OSP at least three business days before the agency submission deadline, since OSP will be closed during the Winter Break.
The campus closure during Winter Break will cause a heavy workload on OSP staff, so we will enforce our current policy more consistently. Proposals received after the OSP deadlines specified above will be reviewed on a first come first serve basis and will be submitted only if time permits.
Thank you for your understanding.
