The volume of electronic submissions is growing by leaps and bound.  To ensure quality review and guaranteed delivery, one must have his or her proposal to the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) within one business day of the agency deadline. OSP cannot assure electronic submission unless we have the proposal 24 hours before the deadline.  Contact us at 573-341-4134 for assistance.
