All proposals, including pre-proposals and letters of intent requiring AOR signature, must complete an Intent to Submit form. To ensure our sponsored programs teams can support your submission effectively, it's critical to adhere to our internal deadlines.
Unfortunately, we are unable to process or submit proposals if your Intent to Submit is received after your first internal deadline. In addition, if internal deadlines are missed, we will not be able to proceed with your submission. We cannot interrupt one submission to accommodate another.
