<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know a number of colleagues are preparing UKRI submissions for the 28<sup>th</sup> of September deadline on the new funding service. I believe that RKES have been in touch with anyone who has a draft costing with this submission date.
I just wanted to circulate the guidance on internal timescales for all staff in case costings are not on CPM yet, or for those who didn’t receive the direct email.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In short, there are a large number of proposals likely to be submitted and RKES are asking for support to have all costings submitted well in advance to allow everything to be processed.<o:p></o:p></p>
