Research, Discovery & Innovation approval is required to authorize Sponsored Projects & Contracting Services to deviate from ‘first in, first out’ submission order if a proposal is not fully approved in UAccess Research (UAR) three (3) business days prior to the sponsor’s due date. Submission means any action that would authorize a proposal for submission, including signature on a face page, Certifications and Assurances, Subrecipient Commitment Forms, etc. Contact Sponsored Projects & Contracting Services directly if a single approver cannot access UAR to approve but all other approvals will be obtained by original deadlines.
