Limited Submissions

Limited Submission Process

Some funding opportunities restrict the number of submissions from an institution or require some type of internal coordination. The Office of Research, guided by policy, seeks to provide an open and timely process for announcing and coordinating institutional review. Generally, this process involves announcement and solicitation of a “Notice of Interest” (NOI). If the number of NOI’s exceeds the allowable limit for a solicitation, an internal review of brief pre-proposals from each NOI is arranged. This process will vary depending on timelines and sponsor requirements. For details or questions about the process contact KUCR Limited Submissions.

In general the timelines are:

1. Opportunity announcement to NOI submission—2 weeks
2. Internal-competition pre-proposals due (if needed)—2 weeks
3. Internal review and selection—up to 4 weeks depending on number of proposals
