External Funding Limited Submission
What is Limited Submission?
Some external funding programs limit the number of submissions from an institution (this could be letter of intent (LOI) or full submission). When this is the case the university must decide which proposals will go forward and an internal competition is held. To facilitate a fair decision-making process, faculty/staff who wish to apply to a limited submission funding opportunity, prior to submitting an LOI (if required) or submitting a full proposal must notify ORP of the desire to be considered for the limited submission by completing our Notification of Intent through our Kuali Build Application at least 45 calendar days (6 weeks) in advance of the agency deadline (for known limited submission program, click the solicitation name below for exact due dates). If an internal competition is required, you will be notified to upload your Pre-Submission Materials in your application in Kuali Build.
Limited Submission Programs
Below is a short list of limited submission programs that have historically necessitated internal coordination at SIUE. NOTE: This is not an inclusive list. There are many external funding programs with institutional submission limits. Please be sure to check program guidelines early for any submission limits and deadlines. The ORP maintains a list of current limited-submission programs for which we have received one or more notifications. If you become aware of an external funded limited submission program that is not listed below but you are still interested in applying, complete the Notification of Intent through our Kuali Build Application and select OTHER for the program name and then provide the funding opportunity name and URL to the description.
