Limited Submissions
When an opportunity is “limited” it means the sponsor places a limit on the number of proposals each institution may submit. Central Research Development (ResDev) administers the limited submissions review and approval process for the Sr. Vice Provost for Research. We work with applicants to help them craft the strongest proposal possible.
If you become aware of a funding opportunity with limited submission requirements that is not listed, contact us at: [email protected].
