We are fast approaching the NIH summer deadlines (i.e. June 5, June 12, June 16,\u00a0 July 5, July 12, July 16, etc.) which is a high volume proposal time for Sponsored Programs (see the complete list of deadlines\u00a0<\/span>here<\/span><\/a><\/u><\/b>)<\/span>. \u00a0<\/b>We are already aware of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>80\u00a0<\/span><\/b>proposals due in June and July. \u00a0<\/span>Your assistance in notifying us of your intention to submit a proposal for the upcoming deadlines and submitting the final proposal according to Boston University\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Proposal Submission Policy<\/span><\/a>\u00a0will help ensure a smooth and successful submission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a reminder, according to the submission policy, we request all administrative components be finalized 5 business days before the deadline<\/b>\u00a0and the\u00a0final and complete proposal be submitted to Sponsored Programs 3 business days before the deadline<\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Proposals that become complete on the day of the deadline are at risk of not being successfully submitted given high volumes and system pressures.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, to meet the June 5\u00a0<\/span>deadline (June 7 this year because the deadline falls on a weekend),\u00a0<\/span>we should receive:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. All\u00a0administrative components<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>complete and final by\u00a0<\/span>Friday, May 28<\/b>;<\/li>\n
  2. Final and complete proposal<\/b>, including all final technical components, by\u00a0<\/span>Tuesday, June 2.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Adherence to this timeframe will allow Sponsored Programs to conduct a thorough review of your proposal and submit it with enough time to address any unexpected system issues in advance of the deadline. As we get closer to the deadlines, we have experienced significant delays in receiving submission confirmations and system-wide crashes due to the sheer volume of proposals processed nationwide by grants.gov. A thorough review of proposals and submitting well in advance of the deadline will help mitigate these unexpected issues. For all NIH proposals, please use <\/span>ASSIST<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to develop your application.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We will review proposals as we receive them and will make every effort to submit each proposal, but we cannot guarantee a successful \u201con-time\u201d submission for proposals that do not adhere to the proposal submission policy. We will complete review and submission of proposals submitted on time before turning to proposals received after the submission policy guideline deadlines.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Thank you for your assistance and please feel free to reach out to your\u00a0<\/span>Sponsored Programs RA<\/a><\/span> to notify them of any planned submissions or if you have any questions.<\/span><\/p>\n
