We hope you are safe and warm during the current
full MU-campus closure due to
extensive winter storms.
The OSPA central email inbox (grantsdc@missouri.edu)
has been and will continue to be monitored during the closure, and
time-sensitive proposal submissions and other urgent needs are being addressed.
For the duration of the closure, please direct inquiries there as needed.
Otherwise, your Senior Grants and Contracts Administrator (SGCA) will be ready
to assist with questions, concerns, and business as usual when campus
operations resume.
As a reminder, NIH and NSF have previously
issued guidance for such conditions (below). For other sponsors with submission
deadlines during the closure, we advise similarly working with
agency/organizational contacts to make them aware of the situation, if
possible, and upon submission, including a cover letter noting the reason for
the delay.

The NIH
realizes that there may be problems for organizations in submitting grant
applications due to the extensive winter storms. The usual NIH practice
for such circumstances will apply. Electronic and paper applications
submitted late because of weather problems must include a cover letter noting
the reasons for the delay. It is not necessary to get permission in
advance for weather-related delays in grant application submissions. The
delay should not exceed the time period that an applicant
organization/institution is closed.
