Grant Writing Timing & Process

PRE-AWARD AND POST-AWARD INFORMATION

Grant Proposal and Progress Report Timing

  • When planning to submit a new proposal or progress report, or apply for a fellowship, please email preaward@chem.wisc.edu at least 3 weeks prior to the submission deadline.
  • All proposals must be finalized and submitted at least 7 days prior to the submission deadline. This will ensure staff are available in the Dean’s office to review and submit to RSP.

Why plan ahead?

  • During NIH and NSF unsolicited proposals deadline windows, we have had as many as 14 proposals to submit just in the Chemistry Department.
  • L&S has 40 departments submitting proposals at the same time as ChemistryThe L&S grants office closes at 4 p.m. daily.
  • Research and Sponsored Projects (RSP) makes the final approval before proposals are released. The RSP grants office closes at 4:30 p.m. daily.
  • Sometimes there are problems! Grants submissions systems can slow down due to high traffic rates. Also, the L&S grants office or RSP may catch last-minutes errors or omissions and request revisions prior to final submission.
