Limited Submission Opportunities
Institutionally Coordinated Submissions
Programs that permit only one or a limited number of proposals to be submitted by an institution to a sponsoring agency are known as Limited Submission Opportunities (LSOs). Sponsor guidelines require institutions to identify, screen, and approve proposals internally prior to submission to ensure compliance with stated limits.
At 91ÉÙÅ®¼¯ÖÐÓª, all LSOs are coordinated by the Office of Research Support and Development (ORSD). ORSD oversees institutional participation in limited submission programs, including determining when Notices of Intent (NOIs), internal competitions, or additional review processes are required.
This new Internal Portal landing page serves as the official and central location for:
- Active and upcoming limited submission opportunities
- Institutional requirements and guidance
- Internal deadlines and required actions
- Supporting resources related to LSOs
Faculty and staff interested in applying to a limited submission program should consult this page regularly to confirm availability, review requirements, and ensure compliance with internal and sponsor deadlines.
