Proposal Timeline

 The due dates below serve as the basis for the review schedule outlined below.

For documents submitted by the applicable submission due date, faculty should expect feedback within two (2) business days of receipt. For documents submitted prior to the applicable submission due date, the team will make every effort to provide feedback within two (2) business days of receipt. However, during periods of high proposal volume, when expedited review of early submissions may not be possible, feedback will be provided no later than two (2) business days after the applicable submission due date.

* Please note that complex multi-institutional proposals require extended timeline. Add 7 calendar days if more than one subcontract is involved.
** If UH is a sub-awardee, the deadline (T) is set by the lead institution, not by the funding agency. It is up to the PI to find out what this deadline is and plan the proposal submission timeline accordingly.
*** For unusual circumstances that are beyond the control of the PI, faculty may request an exception, and the team will continue to do everything reasonably possible to provide support. Examples include a program manager directing a rapid response or a genuinely short turnaround time for a funding opportunity.
**** One late-notification request not justified by the circumstances above will be allowed per faculty per year, provided it has the support/approval of the chair and the Dean’s office. Such requests will only be accommodated if the pre-award team’s current workload and availability permit.
