Proposal Submission Deadlines
The University of Washington requires that all proposals obtain campus approval prior to routing to UW Office of Sponsored Programs (UW OSP). This is an electronic process done via SAGE, the System to Administer Grants Electronically. Campus approval is required for all involved departments, colleges, deans and UW OSP.
The UW submits thousands of proposals annually in support of our research mission. In order to manage the large flow of proposals that require review, revision, approval and submission, UW OSP has implemented the following deadlines for all proposal actions, stated below. These deadlines are determined based on the Sponsor Due Date. Not counting weekends and holidays, these routing deadlines are critical to working within University policy and ensure proposals will be submitted on time.
7 day Campus Routing (CR) Deadline
- Final proposal title, budget and budget justification
- Draft versions of the abstract/summary, scientific sections
3 day Ready to Submit (RTS) Deadline
