Limited Submissions Program
Many funding agencies limit the number of proposals that can be submitted from a single institution. Therefore, Notre Dame Research facilitates this selection process through its Limited Submissions Program.
Below is a list of the open limited submissions. Please note both the internal expression of interest deadline as well as the sponsor deadline. All internal applications are due by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the internal expression of interest deadline unless otherwise noted.
Applications submitted after the deadline will not be accepted or considered eligible for internal competition. However, if no application has been received by limited@nd.edu by the internal deadline, the first application submitted after the internal deadline that fulfills eligibility criteria and is approved by the Limited Submissions process will be selected as the University nomination.
To receive email announcements about new limited submission opportunities, you may subscribe to our mailing list using this link. If you wish to unsubscribe and stop receiving emails, simply send a message to: ndr-limited-submissions-
