Dumb question....midnight on the 27th? So, today is the 26th. When the clock flips over to midnight this evening (becoming the morning of th 27th) is that when the grants are due? Or is it midnight on the 27th (which is actually beginning the morning of the 28th)? Can you tell I still have to click "submit"? :)

Hi Susan,
When the clock ticks to 11:59 on June 27 and then 60 seconds later it becomes June 28..... the time is up. Good luck with your grant application!
