To ensure adequate time for processing of research funding proposals, faculty and staff are requested to submit electronic proposals to the Office of Sponsored Programs and Research (SPAR) at least 24 hours prior to the sponsor’s deadline.
Growth in the number of mandatory electronic proposal systems and problems with sponsor bandwidth and server speed on deadline dates has necessitated the change. When the number of electronic grant proposals was smaller, SPAR staff were able to handle submission with few problems. As more sponsors have come online with mandatory electronic submission systems, there is an increasing probability that some proposals will miss sponsors’ deadlines because of last-minute submissions to the SPAR office.
SPAR is located in the Byrnes Building, fifth floor, and on the Web at http://spar.research.sc.edu/.
