Grant Search & Submission TIMELINE Office of Postdoctoral Affairs May 2017
What does this timeline address? This is a general timeline to assist postdoctoral researchers with searching for, preparing and submitting sponsored research grants. What is Sponsored Research? Grants and Awards that require financial compliance reporting are considered sponsored research and must be reviewed, verified, and approved by the Office of Sponsored Research (OSR). These funds are typically paid to the recipient through the University. What if I am applying for a fellowship or a grant that does not require such reporting? If the grant/award you are preparing does not require review by OSR, this timeline can assist you with general thinking about successful search and application timelines. These grant / award funds are typically paid directly to the recipient.
