Use this calculator in conjunction with the CLAS Proposal Deadline Policy. This calculator applies only to proposals that have a hard deadline published at least 30 days ahead of time. Note: the initiation and document completion deadlines apply only to proposals submitted from units supported by the Research Office.
UF internal deadlines for different stages of proposal submission are determined by counting back from the sponsor’s submission deadline, taking into account days when UF is scheduled to be closed for business. This calculator works with dates and times expressed in United States Eastern Time (ET). For instance, if the sponsor stipulates that a proposal must be submitted before 12 noon Tokyo time on September 1, that submission deadline must be re-expressed as 11 p.m. ET on August 31.
If the submission deadline time is 9 a.m. ET or later, then enter the deadline date into the calculator. However, if the submission deadline time is earlier than 9 a.m. ET, enter the date one day before the deadline date. (Even if UF is open for business on the deadline date, it is not possible to count on submitting that day to meet a deadline earlier than 9 a.m. ET.)
