Grant application deadlines are changing from 1st April 2022. The current 7 working day deadline for the Standard Application Process is being replaced with a 5 working day deadline. In summary this means -
- Departments are required to give ROO a minimum of 4 weeks’ notice of the intention to submit an application
- Standard Application Process: applications must be received by ROO at least 5 working days before the funder deadline
- Small Application Process: applications must be received by ROO at least 2 working days before the funder deadline. These are not checked by ROO.
- Clinical Trials: applications involving Clinical Trials must be received at least 3 weeks before the funder deadline
In exceptional cases where the deadlines are not met, the Head of Department can request dispensation, which must be received with the full application, at least 2 working days before the funder deadline. Further details about these changes are available on the ROO website.
