SPO Proposal Review and Timely Submission
Read about proposal submission deadlines for all proposals submitted to the Sponsored Projects Office (SPO).
UC San Diego is one of the top research universities in the country. The campus administration supports our researchers by staying up to date on the requirements of the 1600+ entities from which we receive contracts or grants as well as changing state and federal requirements for these entities. To ensure researchers have the best chance of having their research projects funded, we need to ensure compliance with ever-changing regulations and identify inaccuracies or errors that can be fixed before proposals are reviewed by funding agencies.
The SPO, through their contract and grant officers and analysts, has designated delegated authority to solicit, accept, and execute extramural contracts and grants. The SPO is responsible for reviewing and endorsing extramural proposals, or Institutional Review, on behalf of The Regents of the University of California.
