How are limited-submission proposals selected?
If a faculty member learns of a limited-submission proposal (in which only one proposal from an institution is allowed, often in the form of a nomination), it is his/her responsibility to notify the SPO immediately if s/he is interested in applying. When sponsored programs learns of a funding opportunity with a submission limitation, a notification is sent via university-wide e-mail soliciting interest in applying. In the event that two or more faculty members wish to submit to a funding opportunity with a submission limitation, an internal competition will be held. In this case, the SPO will request a one-page abstract of the proposal. These proposals will be reviewed by the director of sponsored programs, the vice president for academic affairs, and the associate dean. They will select one proposal to represent the university.
