Limited Submission Funding Opportunities
Limited Submission Process
Limited submission programs restrict the number of applications or proposals an institution may submit to the sponsor. TAMUK ORI will facilitate the release of as many limited submission opportunities as possible prior to the sponsor deadline on a monthly basis. Colleges will facilitate their own internal competition and forward one to three recommendations to ORI within the prescribed timeline.
Faculty or staff who wish to apply for external funding are responsible for reviewing the program guidelines to determine institutional limitations. When a limited submission solicitation is identified that has not been announced or listed on our website, potential applicants should contact osr@tamuk.edu as soon as possible so that the guidelines may be reviewed and a reasonable timeline maybe established for an internal competition. Verbal communications with ORI will NOT be accepted, interested applicants must submit an official email notification.
Final proposal selections will be made by the Vice President of Research based on scientific merit, capacity to develop a sustainable research program, alignment with the TAMUK strategic plan, and broader impact to the university community. Additional considerations may include the research team’s funding history, reviews from previous submissions to the same grant program, extent of cross-college collaboration, degree to which collaborations have been fostered with outside agencies and/or industry and existence of current relationships with the funding sponsor. For solicitations that require match or cost share, please note that selection to move forward with a limited submission does not include approval for any cost share or match requirements. In other words, limited submission approval does not preclude the applicant from following established institutional procedures in securing match or cost share approvals from the appropriate department, center, institute, college, division.
If ORI has not received a notice of intent from any party within a month of a deadline, all proposals received will be considered on a "first-come, first-served" basis provided that the project sufficiently addresses all requirements within the opportunity. If any proposals come in following the selection of the maximum number of submissions, those proposals will not be considered in the current call, yet proposers may resubmit for consideration in future calls.
