Proposal Support

Timeline 

• At least 3 calendar weeks (14 business days) prior to proposal due date: You must notify the department fiscal manager of intent to submit a proposal. See below for what to include. 
• At least 1 calendar week (5 business days) prior to proposal due date: All proposal components aside from the project description/research plan must be finalized and shared with OCGA. The package must also include a draft of the research plan.
• At least 2 business days prior to the proposal due date: The final draft of the research plan must be shared with OCGA.

• 8a.m. PST on the due date: A final version of the research plan may be provided. This ability was added in an effort to give PI’s as much time as possible to make edits to the research portion. However, you should know that if you elect to submit a final version at this stage, it may not have any effect on the rest of the components including budget, personnel, etc., and it will not be reviewed.
