Grant Submission Process Timeliness of Submissions The ORSP can be a highly valuable resource to faculty, staff and stude nts provided that ample time is allotted for assistance. Contacting the manager assigned to your home unit in advance allows for them to schedule and devote ample time to assist you. Ohio University policy 19.050 requires that 48 hours advance notice be provided to ORSP by investigators applying for external funds. This tim eline allows for form preparation and signature to be completed, a budget to be created and/or approved and format approved either in paper form or electronically. Failure to give ample notice may result in a late submission or a withdrawal of a proposal with inaccurate budgets or university information. If one week or more notice is given, along with a complete package for submission, ORSP will gladly submit your proposals and any copies required through certified US Mail on your behalf. Submission of prop osals with short notice, requiring overnight delivery are the responsibility of the principal investigator (PI) or project director (PD).
