Sponsored Programs Administration Policy Update 2023: NCSA Submission Pilot Program
SPA now requests all documents by 8 a.m. four days prior to the sponsor deadline; exception: only a draft of the proposal is required at that time. References and final documents are required at least eight business hours prior to the sponsor’s deadline.
A proposal will be considered late when it is submitted after the deadline above. SPA will make reasonable efforts to review late proposals but cannot ensure the same level of proposal review service. Proposals received the same day as the sponsor's deadline will not be guaranteed an expert review ensuring compliance with institutional and sponsor requirements.
Reach out to the NCSA Proposal Development team at ncsa-pdo@mx.uillinois.edu with any questions.
