This is ORA’s annual reminder regarding the University’s scheduled holiday closings and the need for timely proposal submissions. The University will be closed for the holidays, Thursday, November 23, 2017 and Friday, November 24, 2017; and from Monday, December 25, 2017 through Monday January 1, 2018. In order to ensure submission of endorsed proposals to the sponsor before the holiday breaks, the deadlines for proposal submissions to the Office of Research Administration are:
| Latest Delivery Deadline to ORA | To Ensure That Endorsed Proposal is Submitted to the Sponsor By |
|---|---|
| WEDNESDAY (November 15) | WEDNESDAY (November 22) |
| FRIDAY(December 15) | FRIDAY (December 22) |
Any proposals which are submitted to ORA LATER than the above schedule may run the risk of not being reviewed, approved and submitted through the University’s routing process by the sponsor’s deadline date. Please share this information with faculty within your departments.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation in these matters.
