LIMITED SUBMISSIONS
In addition, this office also conducts internal competitive reviews to select proposals for submission when solicitations have restrictions on the number of proposal submissions and on eligibility requirements. These solicitations are referred to as “limited submission” funding opportunities and may require internal coordination across schools, colleges and disciplines within the university. The limited submissions website has details on opportunities, procedures, and guidelines for these solicitations.
