The Research Policy Committee’s decision to make changes to research grant applications deadlines that are sent to the Research Operations Office (ROO) come into place next week. That means funders who have a deadline from 10th October 2018 onwards will be part of the new process. Further details about the new arrangements are available on the ROO website including
-
A decision tree showing the different deadlines and requirements
-
An online tool to work through when to submit your application to ROO
-
A poster to download to raise awareness in your Department
Example - if the funder deadline is Wednesday 24th October at 3pm, you will need to send your application to ROO by the following dates

Applications that miss the ROO deadlines will not be submitted to the funder. In exceptional circumstances a PI can ask their Head of Department to consider initiating the late application process. Small Applications up to £250,000 fEC which have no exceptions e.g. collaborator, sub-contracting etc. can be checked by the Department and sent to ROO at least 1 working day before the funder deadline. For open calls where a PI requests that the application is submitted for a particular panel meeting, the 7 or 5 working day deadline needs to be met.
In addition to the above deadlines, some Departments have their own internal procedures which should be observed.
