My overseas collaborator informed me that a joint application/report is having a deadline on public holiday/weekend. What should I do?

Please observe the following guidelines if the submission deadline of application/report is on public holiday/weekend:

• For research grants which are not coordinated by the ORKTS, i.e. invitations are not received by ORKTS or our researchers are invited by collaborators to apply, a complete set of application materials should reach ORKTS at least 7 working days prior to external submission deadline, whether it be set by the funding agency or the collaborating party.
• For research grants, which are coordinated by the ORKTS and internal calls for applications will be/have been issued, applicants should observe the deadline for submission of applications set by ORKTS.
• For cases that no internal deadline has been set, please allow at least 7 working days for handling the report submission.
