During July and August the Graduate School will be closed on Fridays, and the Research & Sponsored Programs (RSP) staff will be working reduced hours.  The RSP staff already have a number of proposals to handle during July and August, so if you are thinking about submitting a proposal during that time and have not yet been in contact with the RSP staff, please notify them of your plans as soon as possible (Ruth.Jeffries@cwu.edu and leslie.hunter@cwu.edu).

Also, in order to ensure timely review and submission of proposals to external funding agencies, please submit your complete proposal package—including all components of the proposal—at least five workdays prior to the submission deadline.  It will be difficult to accommodate last-minute submissions, so a proposal submitted to RSP less than five business days before the deadline runs the risk of non-submission.
