2026 NIH Deadlines

Grant Routing Deadlines

During the grant routing process, academic administrators and the UMB Sponsored Program Administration (SPA) will review the materials to identify and correct errors. Investigators are expected to assist their administrators in confirming the application materials are accurate before submission. The only changes that can be made after submission of all final documents are those requested by SPA.

Submit all documents via Kuali-Coeus.

Holidays and weekends are NOT business days.

Deadline #1: Seven Business Days Before Due Date

Investigators must submit to the Dean’s Office in final form, and via Kuali-Coeus, all grant front pages and all administrative materials. This includes:

  • Budgets
  • Budget justifications
  • Personnel and effort
  • Performance site locations
  • Animal or human subject use forms

Deadline #2: Five Business Days Before Due Date

Submit all other remaining grant materials to the Dean’s Office for review and then submission to the UMB Office of Research Development. All grant materials must be in final form and marked final.

The Grant Routing Policy will be applied without exception for all NIH grant proposals when the School of Medicine is the submitting institution.
