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 28, 2024 and Friday, November 29, 2024; and from Wednesday, December 25, 2024 through Wednesday January 1, 2025. In order to ensure submission of endorsed proposals to the sponsor before each holiday break, 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 20) | WEDNESDAY (November 27) |
| TUESDAY (December 17) | TUESDAY (December 24) |
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 and staff within your departments.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation in these matters.
