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.
