Updates and Information Regarding COVID-19 / Coronavirus
This page has been set up to provide updates related to the Office of Sponsored Programs in response to COVID-19.
Last Updated: March 27, 2020
Processes have been put in place for Georgia Tech's Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) Contracting Officers and other supporting staff to carry out all critical Research Administration functions (e.g. proposal submission, award acceptance) while working remotely. As instructed by President Cabrera, remote work operations began on the week of March 16, 2020.
Please note that it is more important than ever to give the Contracting Officer sufficient time to review your proposal and its supporting documentation. Proposals received less than 12 business hours before the deadline may receive only a limited review, for compliance with Georgia Tech policies only. Proposals requiring representations, certifications and other types of commitments may not be complete by the deadline if received the day due.
