All proposals must be received in Kuali by the Sponsored Programs Office (SPO) four full business days prior to the sponsor deadline.
An example of the four full business day timeline is shown below:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proposal in OSP Admin Approval que by 8:00 AM with department and college approvals completed. | Submission to Sponsor | Sponsor Deadline 5:00 PM |
Proposals that do not meet the four full business day deadline will be reviewed only to the extent time allows and with priority given to ensure compliance with USU requirements.
