Deadlines and Submission Procedure

The Research Council uses an electronic proposal submission process through NUgrant. Deadlines for electronic submission of applications are as follows:

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Electronic submission of proposals to the Research Council Office is required. Please route to your chair and dean for approval prior to submitting the proposal to the Research Council Office.

The new application form, which features electronic approval and routing, is accessible through NUgrant under the Apply heading on the Research Council home page. Applications must be submitted through NUgrant; paper applications will no longer be accepted.

Your NUgrant login information matches your Blackboard username and password.
