Due to the Christmas vacation, the Research Office will close from 1pm on Tuesday 24th December 2024 and will re-open on Thursday 2nd January 2025.
Please be aware of the following deadlines and ensure that your researchers are made aware of these arrangements.
Post-award
Final Expenditure Statements due over the Christmas closure period must be confirmed to ROO by Friday 29th November 2024. This is to allow statements to be submitted to the funder, prior to the Christmas closure.
Applications
If you have applications with a funder deadline in early January, when counting back the number of working days, Monday 23rd December will be the last full “working day” before Christmas. For example -
| Funder deadline | Friday 3rd January 2025, 5pm |
| 2 working days | Monday 23rd December 2024, 5pm |
| 5 working days | Wednesday 18th December 2024, 5pm |
As a reminder, the ROO asks for a minimum of four weeks’ notice of the intention to submit to a particular scheme. Full details of the deadline policy and the application deadline calculator can be found on the ROO website.
