Proposal deadlines and target dates are provided in program announcements and information, and can also be reviewed in on-going lists by program area. They are also published in the NSF E-Bulletin which is updated daily. Any questions concerning these dates should be referred to the individual or office named as a point of contact for the program.

Unless otherwise stated in a program announcement or solicitation, proposals must be received by the specified date (and time, where indicated). If the deadline date falls on a weekend, it will be extended to the following Monday; if the date falls on a holiday, it will be extended to the following business day.
