Limited Submission Grant Competitions
Some sponsors have limits on the number of proposals that may be submitted from an organization. In these cases, an internal selection process is required to determine which proposals will go forward. Faculty wishing to participate are required to submit a pre-proposal (details at the bottom of this page) for an internal competition. If your proposal is selected to move forward, your proposal may require an internal or 鈥渞ed team鈥 review. Additional information will be provided at the time of selection.
You can find a list of proposals known to limit the number of submissions, the sponsor deadlines, and the internal deadlines for pre-proposals here. Instructions for submitting a pre-proposal follow this list.
