As faculty respond to the requests and needs of students and related issues, completing grant applications/proposals and reports may be challenging. Several sponsoring agencies have procedures for consideration of late proposals and reporting. The procedures and flexibility associated with these policies vary greatly between agencies. For those that allow an extended timeframe, it generally coincides with the length of time an institution is closed for an emergency, though there has been some flexibility due to extenuating circumstances, e.g., NIH caps the proposal submission delay to two weeks when a grant application meets certain criteria.
