UMBC's Office of Sponsored Programs has started enforcing their proposal deadlines, which may result in *late* Proposals being declined.   

To avoid that scenario, please continue to follow the internal CNMS Pre-Award Deadlines below:

10 business days before the sponsor’s due date – The proposed budget must include all detailed accurate costs in accordance with the sponsor’s funding guidelines.  Additionally, all subcontract budget negotiations must be complete for pre-award specialists to obtain all necessary documents. Budget changes by the PI are no longer permitted after this deadline.

7 business days before the sponsor’s due date – All final proposal documents as listed on the proposal checklist are due to the pre-award specialist.

5 business days before the sponsor’s due date – Internal routing via Kuali is initiated for final review and approval by the stakeholders.

3 business days before the sponsor’s due date (OSP ready to submit deadline) – OSP will complete a final review of the proposal to ensure compliance and submit.  PIs may need to make change based on OSP feedback.

Thanks for your cooperation and partnership.
