Proposals will be mailed to sponsors by the Sponsored Programs Office (SPO). Mailings
of proposals will be done at no cost to the Principal Investigator (PI) provided a
complete proposal is received by SPO early enough to assure ample time for review
and authorization and be ready to mail with a minimum of seven calendar days before
the sponsor’s deadline. Such proposals will be mailed by U.S. Postal Service (USPS)
Certified Mail.
In the event that there is not adequate time (determined by SPO) to assure that USPS
Certified Mail will reach the sponsor on time, SPO will mail the proposal using either
UPS second day air or overnight as may be necessary to assure an on time arrival with
the cost to be paid by the PI.
At the PI’s request, any proposal can be shipped UPS overnight or second day air provided
that the PI supplies SPO with an account number for the cost. Note: An E2 restricted
account may NOT be used for such mailings. Mailing costs associated with proposal
submissions can only be charged to a general fund or any non-restricted account, or
the PI’s incentive account.
