Proposal Deadline Guidelines
As Baylor’s research enterprise grows, the demand for pre-award services throughout the University is likewise increasing. To accommodate that growth and facilitate the submission of high-quality proposals, Baylor OVPR is adopting industry-standard internal deadlines for faculty to follow in partnership with their University Research Administrator.
Your URA is now your first contact for any proposal submission. To the right, you’ll find frequently asked questions about the process and benefits of working with URAs. To facilitate that workflow and ensure the highest quality of the finished product, the following internal deadlines are implemented for all submissions.
