What are the deadline cycles? Are there any special large deadlines?
- For non-competitive proposals, the PI should consult with the sponsor’s representative to identify any deadlines that must be met. Deadlines will be unique to each proposal.
- For competitive RFP’s, the program web site sets forth the deadlines and other critical dates/times in the proposal and award process. Each RFP is different. Some competitive industrial RFPs post multiple competitions each year, while others may solicit proposals only once annually.
- Some RFPs first require submission of a proposal abstract and invite full proposals only from a small subset of abstract providers.
