month. You are not alone as there is a NIH deadline on the same

title, budget request by this Thursday (1.14.10) afternoon. Then I can
create the budget so that we can start routing on Tuesday 1.19.10.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

President of Research. Here is the web link for the 3 day rule <a

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

proposal must be fully submitted and we allow SRO access on 1.22.10.
Whereas most of you would like the weekend to work on the grant proposal,
please speak with me about this matter. But, routing is essential
and needs to be starting no later that Tuesday 1.19.10 due to the multiple
offices the proposal is routed for UA approval.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
