Funding Opportunities with Limited Submissions
Many foundations and some government agencies have funding competitions that allow a limited number of nominations or proposal submissions from any one institution. When there is a widespread interest in one of these programs, it is necessary to conduct an internal selection process. If you are interested in one of the following programs, you must contact Bev Strakose at 545-5283 or email: strakose@ora.umass.edu by the internal deadline stated below. When it is necessary to conduct an internal review, you will be notified with a description of materials needed from you or your group.
Further information on limited institutional submissions can be found in the Guidelines for Limited Institutional Submissions to Funding Programs. The following information is a list of programs with limited submission restriction.
