and ready for review at least one week prior to the due date. This will insure
that there are no typographical errors and that all attachments and assurances
are in place before the proposal is submitted. No proposal should be submitted
from the College without having first been reviewed by the Office of Sponsored
Programs. |

Proposals
can be sent via US Mail, UPS, or Fed Ex. They can also be hand delivered if necessary.
The Office of Sponsored Programs requests that the most cost-effective measure
be taken in the submission of proposals. |
