In cases where a final solution has not been selected by the project submission deadline, a Project Placeholder Request should be submitted. This allows the project to be considered for inclusion in the upcoming fiscal year while the evaluation and selection process is still underway.
- Submit the Project Placeholder Request by December 1.
- Submit the full Project Request by February 1.
For example, for a Fiscal Year 2027 project, the placeholder request must be submitted by December 1, 2025, with the full project request due by February 1, 2026.
While every effort will be made to include placeholder projects in the upcoming schedule, please note that they will be reviewed and resourced after all complete project requests submitted by the December 1 deadline have been evaluated.
