Resubmission / Revision

Rejected proposals can either be abandoned or resubmitted. PIs are urged to consider resubmitting unfunded proposals, if the reviewers’ comments indicate that the proposal can be reworked, or improved and strengthened in some meaningful way that will render it competitive. At UGA, resubmissions of unfunded proposals are considered new proposals, and a new proposal record (separate from the old unfunded proposal record) is created in the University mainframe.

Resubmissions and sponsor requests for amended budgets are not the same.  Sponsors will frequently request an amended budget when the intent is to fund your proposal but not at the budget level requested.
