Limited Submissions

Many federal agencies and foundations offer grants, awards and fellowships that limit the number of proposals that can come from one institution. In order to increase the chances of succeeding in this funding arena, UTHSC must submit its most competitive proposal. To do so, an internal competition is required. The Office of Research Development (ORD) has established a procedure to notify investigators of these opportunities and to review internal pre-proposals in a timely fashion.

Limited Submission Process

For each limited submission opportunity, an e-blast announcement is distributed to the Faculty, Researchers and FundOPs listservs. Depending on the RFA, specific colleges, departments and institutes will also be notified. The announcement provides general directions and deadlines for the submission of internal pre-proposals, along with links to the funding agency's website.

All submitted pre-proposals that meet the eligibility requirements specified by the funding organization’s RFA are passed on to an internal review committee of faculty peers for evaluation.

Completed reviews are presented to the Vice Chancellor for Research, who then makes the final nomination decisions.

ORD notifies all investigators of the outcome of their submission. Individual reviews are generally available to the investigator upon request.

InfoReady Review

The Office of Research Development uses InfoReady Review to manage internal funding competitions. It will be used for the routing, reviewing and selection of UTHSC nominees for limited submissions. Please go the InfoReady Review website to identify active limited submission competitions. Please see the InfoReady login instructions for additional information and assistance.

Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact the Office of Research Development if they are interested in submitting a proposal. Failure to do so will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.

Most pre-proposals require a letter of support from the PI's Dean or Chair (nominator). This letter of support signifies that the nominator has ensured that the nominee and application are likely to be of sufficient quality to be competitive nationally.
