Limited Submissions Program

Limited Submissions Program

A limited submission proposal in which the sponsor restricts the number of applications  that can be submitted by an institution or a unit within an institution. When multiple eligible principal investigators (PIs) or teams of PIs are interested in submitting a proposal to such a funding opportunity, institutions must consider pre-proposals or nominations to determine which application(s) will be submitted to the relevant external agency. Typically, institutions are permitted to submit one or two proposals to the sponsor of a limited submission proposal call. UNT internal deadline to notify us of interest is 8 weeks prior the sponsor deadline, (except for highly competitive programs i.e. NSF MRI or large center grants in which additional time is given to prepare). Inside the 8 week window, spots are given on a first to notify basis. 

*Note: The selection to move forward with an application does not guarantee a PI to cost share commitments from the VPRI, colleges or other stakeholders. Selection is simply the path forward to begin the application process.
