Office for Sponsored Programs Winter Recess Schedule 2019-2020

Happy holidays colleagues,

The University and OSP will be closing at noon on Tuesday, December 24th, and reopening Thursday, January 2nd.  

Proposals (Initial Requests and Competing Renewals) due to the sponsor during winter recess must be locked and routed by 5 p.m. on Monday, December 16, 2019.  If a deadline falls during the week of January 2-10, please email OSPProposalAssistance@harvard.edu so we are aware that something will need to be quickly turned around upon return from break.   

Continuations, Supplements, JIT requests, and new account set up requests must likewise be received by 5 p.m. on Monday, December 16, 2019.

Please note that any award documents and related agreements (including outgoing subawards) requiring signature prior to January 2nd must also be received for review as soon as practicable. While we will do our best to accommodate sponsor requirements, we ask that any awards contingent on being finalized by year end are also received for review 5 p.m. on Monday, December 16, 2019.  

Should you have any concerns regarding these deadlines, please contact: 
Proposal Submission:  Colleen_shanahan@harvard.edu

Thank you,
Your OSP Pre-Award Teams
