Deadlines

The FRO would like to receive written notification of a PI’s intention to submit a funding proposal at a specified point in time PRIOR to the sponsor deadline. Once the notification has been received from the PI, the FRO will set up a mutually convenient timetable with the PI to ensure a smooth submission. By working in this manner, the FRO is able to provide a consistent service to all members of PVAC’s academic community, irrespective of a PI’s experience and workload. Please note requests received after the internal deadline may not be processed and may therefore not go forward to submission.

EU funding and deadlines

Due to the complexity of EU funding applications and administration you are strongly advised to work with both the Faculty Research Office and the University’s European Office when planning to apply for EU funding. The budget is calculated by the FRO in close cooperation with the EU Office. It is the PI’s responsibility to inform the FRO of any items to be included in the budget.

Internal Deadlines

Failure to comply with the above timetable may result in your application not going forward to submission stage.
