Limited Submissions

Limited submission programs are restricted by sponsors in terms of the number of proposals that may be submitted by a single institution. The timing, dollar value, number of submittals, scope of work, and frequency of offering of the limited submission programs vary considerably.  

To apply to these programs, principal investigators (PIs) must undergo a standard UAF internal review and selection process. An important step in this process is submitting a 3-page white paper that summarizes the proposal idea, its merits/impacts, and a draft budget. This white paper will be reviewed by the limited submission review committee. The committee will rank the white papers based on published criteria and make a recommendation to the Vice Chancellor for Research (VCR), who will take the final decision in this selection process. Top ranking PIs will be given the 'go ahead' by the VCR to submit a full proposal to the external agency.
