7.1 When to Submit for Review

Once your Funding Proposal is complete and validated, Budget is Finalized, Attachments Uploaded, and 424 application complete and error-free (if applicable), you will be ready to Submit for Department Review. This should be done well before the GCA Internal deadline to allow ample time for your Department Reviewers (i.e., department and college) to review your proposal, get any clarifications needed, and approve your Funding Proposal.

Department Review should be finalized, and the Funding Proposal should be in the Specialist Review state by the internal deadline specified by your GCA Specialist. All departments and colleges have different lead times needed for reviewing and approving, so check with your department and college to determine if they have a designated lead time required for approving your Funding Proposal.
