Sponsored Programs Administration in the Time of Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Q: Will the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs and the Office of Sponsored Programs Administrative Network remain open?
A: Yes. It is possible that we will all be working remotely, but we plan to be available via email and Skype. If you do not receive an answer when calling, please leave a voicemail. All Office of Research and Sponsored Programs and Office of Sponsored Programs Administrative Network employees have access to their voicemail via email.
Q: Will I still be able to submit my grant proposal?
A: Yes. At this time all grant submission portals are up and running. TRACKS is accessible via the internet.
Q: Do the internal grant proposal deadlines still apply?
A: Yes. We ask that you abide by the 7 business day deadline for draft proposals. Work closely with your Office of Sponsored Programs Administrative Network administrator to assist in meeting this deadline.
We also ask that final grant applications be received by Office of Research and Sponsored Programs 72 hours (three business days) before the published funding agency deadline. This extra day will allow Office of Research and Sponsored Programs plenty of time to coordinate with our investigators and Office of Sponsored Programs Administrative Network to ensure that our grant proposals are in the best shape possible for submission.
Q: Who can I contact if I have an urgent question about a grant proposal?
A: Please get in touch with your assigned Office of Research and Sponsored Programs or Office of Sponsored Programs Administrative Network representatives via email, Skype or voicemail.
