Limited Submission FAQ

• What is a Limited Submission Opportunity?

  Limited Submission Opportunities are funding opportunities that restrict the number of applications an organization can submit to the sponsoring agency or that require other types of internal coordination. For these opportunities, UTMB must choose which applications to submit on behalf of the university. 

• How do I know if a grant is a limited submission?

  The grant's eligibility criteria usually indicates if an application is a limited submission. For example, it may include language such as, "only one candidate can be nominated per institution." If you're not sure, visit the Limited Submission website.

• How do I apply for a limited submission?

  Visit the UTMB Limited Submission Web page and select the limited submission opportunity of interest and follow the submission instructions. 

• What do I do if I find a limited submission opportunity but I don't see it on the UTMB limited submission page?

  If you find an application that you believe is a limited submission but you don't see it on the limited submission page, send an email to let us know. We will put it into the system so you can upload your materials.  This most often happens with federal opportunities.

• What do I do if a grant limits the number of applications per department?

  If a grant is limited at the department level (e.g. the funding announcement says "only two applications may be submitted per department per funding cycle") please work with your department chair to submit an application.
