As most of you are aware, Anne Schauer is currently the only staff available to assist with proposal submissions in OARS. This places an extreme burden on her and she is asking for your help. If you are considering a grant proposal submission you should let Anne know asap, especially those upcoming (e.g. R03, R15, and R21 all due this month).

You should also be aware that she will require a minimum 10 days advance notice of intents to submit, and a minimum of 5 days lead time for receipt of all materials prior to a submission deadline. These are not to be taken lightly and I have asked Anne to notify me of any faculty who disregard these deadlines. Please respect Anne’s position and help her to help you.
