Limited Submission Opportunities
Limited submission opportunities are funding opportunities where restrictions are placed by the funder on the number of proposals an institution can submit in relation to that opportunity. Funders place the responsibility of application review and selection on the institution. The Research Development Group manages limited submissions in relation to both federal and foundation opportunities.
