INTERNAL DEADLINE for Submitting Proposals - Three Business Days
The Office of Sponsored Awards Management (SAM) is committed to assuring the timely submission of complete, accurate and excellent proposals. To achieve this, it is critical that SAM receive proposals in sufficient time to provide adequate review and allow for the additional processing time associated with electronic submissions systems (e.g. Grants.gov). Interfacing with these electronic systems has improved many aspects of grants administration, but SAM is encountering increased challenges related to a last minute rush (literally) of proposals submitted with the assumption that only "pressing a button" is required to complete the submission process. This assumption has resulted in numerous "near misses" and one large proposal was rejected for missing the agency deadline by minutes.

USC Reporting for ARRA Funding
A PowerPoint presentation from the September 17, 2009 USC training session on (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) ARRA is available here. Additional information will be provided on internal reporting deadlines for the project data required in meeting the federal quarterly reporting deadlines (October 10, January 10, April 10, July 10) associated with accepting ARRA funding and ensuring transparency and accountability of taxpayer dollars. In the interim, please contact Derlene Lowder, Lowderd@mailbox.sc.edu, if you have questions or concerns.
