¹ Sponsor submission date is the deadline to the sponsor who will provide funds to Purdue.  If Purdue is a subaward, this is the date the lead institution needs the proposal documents from Purdue (not the prime sponsor’s deadline).

² For submissions without a firm deadline or with a desired deadline prior to the sponsor deadline, the desired submission date should be used when determining proposal deadline stages with SPS Pre-Award.
