Limited Submissions
Limited submission opportunities are programs that limit the number of applications an organization is allowed to submit in response to a particular program announcement. Sponsors may impose restrictions on the number of submissions per institution, school and/or discipline. When such limitations are stipulated in program guidelines, an internal review and selection process may be necessary to select the best-qualified candidate or proposal to represent Â鶹´«Ã½.
The limited submission process is coordinated by the Office of Research Development (ORD). Limited submission opportunities and internal submission procedures are posted on the ORD Limited Submissions page and are announced through internal research listservs. Investigators interested in submitting a proposal to a limited submission opportunity must submit a Letter of Interest to ORD by 5:00 pm of the established internal deadline. In cases where more applications are received than allowed by the sponsor, an ad hoc committee of domain expert reviewers is convened by the Vice President for Research. If fewer internal applications are received than the number of submissions allowed, the remaining slots are distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Funding Opportunity Listservs
Internal listservs are used to distribute information related to funding opportunities that may be of interest to faculty. Listserv categories include the Sciences, Social Sciences, Education, Public Health and Arts & Humanities. Faculty and staff may request to be added to any of these listservs by contacting the Office of Research Development and specifying the category of their choice.
