Research Development Series: Understanding Limited Submissions - Guidelines, Process, and Popular Programs
For many funding opportunities, sponsors restrict the number of applications they will review from a single institution. When more applicants are interested in these limited-submission grants than available slots, the university conducts an internal selection process to determine which proposals will advance. Programs structured this way include opportunities from most major federal and foundation sponsors, including prominent center-scale programs like the National Science Foundation Research Traineeship grants.
This seminar will help attendees plan ahead for these opportunities by previewing some of the most popular annually recurring limited submission programs, explaining how the internal competition process works at Virginia Tech, and offering guidance for navigating it successfully.

About This Series
In January 2021, the Office of Research and Innovation launched its Research Development Series to help faculty in their journey to increase the scope and impact of their research, creativity, and innovation portfolio. With events focused on different facets of sponsored research, from sponsor-specific perspectives to how to work with partners, this series is intended to answer researchers' biggest questions and enlighten scholars at every step in their career.
