UPCOMING NIH PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE
Dear UCSF Research Community:
If you will be submitting a proposal to the NIH for the upcoming February 5th R01 submission deadline, please read this e-mail. To ensure that your proposal is accepted into the new NIH system by the deadline, it must be received by no later than 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 30th in the UCSF Contracts and Grants Office.
As you are probably aware, NIH is requiring that all proposals be submitted via the federal government’s new electronic portal Grants.gov. In an effort to make the submission process as streamlined and error-free as possible, UCSF has recently licensed and implemented Cayuse software for proposal submissions through Grants.gov. Complete information on how to access and use Cayuse can be found at the following website: http://www.research.ucsf.edu/ITDS/itdsGg_Info.asp
It is important to understand that there is a possibility that a proposal might be rejected upon first submission to either Grants.gov or the NIH Commons. If a rejection occurs, the initial submission is not credited toward the deadline. The proposal must be reviewed, corrected and resubmitted before it will be counted toward the agency’s deadline. In order to avoid missing the deadline due to systems rejections, it is essential that proposals are received at the UCSF’s C&G Office as early as possible.
The campus will make every effort to assure that all final proposals received at C&G prior to 9:00 a.m. on January 30th will be accepted by NIH on time. We cannot promise, however, that proposals that reach C&G after that date will make the Grants.gov and/or the NIH deadlines.
We look forward to an error-free and successful electronic submission of proposals for the February 5th NIH deadline. Please contact Joan Kaiser at 6-8156 if you have questions about this e-mail.
