Grants and research administration
Every application and reporting date across every funder, in one place, including the internal deadline that lands before the sponsor's.
Grants run on two clocks. The funder's immovable due date, and your institution's internal deadline that lands days before it, the five-day rule. You're responsible for both, across several funders and agencies at once, each with its own portal and its own calendar.
A miss is asymmetric and severe. A late submission, a missed RPPR, a lapsed IRB continuing review, and you risk the funding, the next disbursement, the no-cost extension, or the right to keep the research running. Most violations aren't substantive. They're missed deadlines.
And it's a blend of one-off and recurring. A one-time application sits next to annual progress reports, quarterly check-ins, and recertifications, interleaved across funders, and the recurring ones have to reappear without being re-entered by hand.
What you're tracking
Grant application deadlines, LOI and full-proposal dates, the internal-versus-sponsor five-day rule, RPPR and progress and final reports, no-cost-extension dates, IRB submission and continuing-review dates, period-of-performance and budget-period dates.
How Deadlinewatch fits
Both dates, side by side. Hold the immovable sponsor deadline and your earlier internal date as two deadlines, so you prepare against the one that actually binds you.
Reporting cycles, entered once. Annual and quarterly reports repeat on schedule without re-entry, and a missed one stays visible as overdue instead of disappearing.
See the reporting load build. The Forecast shows the months where reports stack up across funders, so a heavy stretch is visible weeks out.
One place across every funder. Stream each funder or program into its own group, aggregating the dates that today live in separate portals, spreadsheets, and inboxes.
What it isn't
Deadlinewatch isn't a grants-management system or an enterprise research-information platform. It's the personal, at-a-glance layer for the one person who has to not miss the date, without a five-figure system to administer.
