ORD Resource Spotlight: Limited Submissions
BY: Carolyn Bradley| PUBLISHED: September 13
In limited submission programs, the sponsor restricts the number of applications or proposals a campus can submit. The guidelines for these programs require institutions to screen pre-proposals or nominations to determine which applications will be allowed to submit for competition. To accomplish this, ORD provides a limited submissions portal where these types of proposals are posted and where faculty can apply to compete.
Why is this important to you? If you are considering applying to a program with an institutional limit, the internal deadline will be approximately 2 months prior to the actual agency submission date. This allows for an internal review to take place and also allows time for the individual or group selected to complete the writing of the proposal. Failure to apply internally can lead to a faculty member spending time writing a proposal that they are not allowed to submit. For more information on the limited submission program, please visit the website at research.fsu.edu/limitedsubmission or contact Dr. Carolyn Bradley, ORD Proposal Development and Funding Specialist.
