- Note: These processing time estimates are based on a full staff and a moderate number of phone calls and emails needing immediate response. These factors do effect the amount of time staff has to complete other duties. We thank you for your patience as we experience periods of heavy work load and/or lighter staffing. We will get to items as quickly as we are able.
- USDA Update - You may wish to send items that can be damaged by X-ray (photos, disks, videos, etc) via Federal Express as items received by USDA via Priority Mail or regular mail will go through their security screening and may be damaged in this process.
- NIH has responded to recent frustration regarding a lag in the notification system regarding due dates for non-competing proposals. They will now send email notices to PIs directly two months prior to the due date for these reports. You may contact Andrea Comley (acomley@wsu.edu) or go to the NIH website to access a copy of this notice #NOTOD03054, released August 5, 2003.
