External Funding Opportunities
External research funding is available from a variety of sources, including government agencies, non-profit organizations, and corporations. Typically, external funding can best be broken down into a few sponsor types.
Intramural Seed Funding

Research seed grants are intended as a mechanism to collect preliminary data, conduct pilot studies and/or complete scholarly activities that will facilitate external funding applications by making the applications more competitive during external review.

Limited Submissions Program

A limited submission proposal is a type of broad agency announcement, request for proposal, or other funding opportunity, in which the sponsor restricts the number of applications or proposals that can be submitted by an institution or a unit within an institution.
