a description for the kind of date the date to an application for the news, event or opportunity is due the date when the news, event or opportunity is due the date the news, event or opportunity begins the date the news, event or opportunity ends the date the news, event or opportunity is modified If entering an event start date, also enter an event stop date, if possible and immediately after the event start date. Typically, the term applyBy is used for applications while the term due is used for proposals. To indicate an ongoing item (like a monthly meeting), enter an event start date without an event stop date. Be sure to enter a date description of 'monthly meeting' so the date information can be clearly understood. To indicate multiple proposal deadlines, enter and data, choose the date type as due or applyBy and complete a date description so the date information can be clearly understood. If an event occurs in multiple locations on multiple dates, enter the appropriate locations in the location field. Then enter appropriate sets of date information. For each date, add a date description that corresponds to the location name. Be sure the event stop date is after the event start date; otherwise the event stop information will not be displayed. Generally, do not enter more than one event start date or event stop date unless doing complicated proposal deadlines or multiple workshops. The following is an example of multiple dates for an NSF announcement. For a research science and science curriculum funding announcement, the research science might have a due date of 2005-07-31 while the science curriculum might have a due date of 2005-08-31. So enter the dates separately. Select due dates as the type of date and then complete different date descriptions. For this case, the date descriptions can be research science track and science curriculum track. required 1 1 string controlled vocabulary due, eventStart, eventStop
