Above is the recommended timeline for proposal development as indicated on the UA Research Gateway website. If for some reason you are not able to follow this timeline, RIIBC Pre-Award team requests notification from the department a minimum of 8 business days PRIOR to the sponsor or donor’s deadline. However, if your project requires special review by other institutional units (UA Foundation, Sponsored Projects & Contracting Services, Export Control, the office of the Vice President for Research ), additional time will be needed. As soon as you are aware you wish to apply for a specific funding opportunity, please complete the Request for Proposal Assistance form to the best of your ability and with as much detail as possible to enable us to determine the appropriate path forward.
