Limited Submissions

The Office of Research Development and Engagement (RDE) coordinates and administers limited submission funding opportunities. Limited submissions are funding programs in which sponsors restrict the number of proposals an institution may submit. To ensure a fair and competitive selection process, RDE releases announcements for these opportunities and manages the internal review and nomination process. Faculty interested in applying are encouraged to monitor posted opportunities and follow the outlined internal application procedures and deadlines.

UNC Charlotte Procedures for Limited Submission Programs
RDE follows these three steps when choosing internal candidates for grant programs with limited submissions:

1. Program Announcement: Limited submissions announcements are sent to the appropriate departments by email. Included in the email is a deadline
   for notifying RDE of intent to apply.
2. White Papers: If an internal competition is necessary, RDE solicits white papers from the proposal teams by sending an email with instructions for
   the format of the white paper and an explanation of how the selection will be made.
3. Applicant Selection: The Vice Chancellor and Associate Vice Chancellor of Research decides whether the Faculty Competitive Grants Committee
   (FCGC) or the Deans and Provost will select the proposals that go forward.

When the selection is made, RDE notifies the proposal teams and works with the selected team(s) to produce a competitive proposal.

Submitting for Internal Limited Submission Selection
Applicants must submit their white papers to the Limited Submissions Smartsheet form by the due date specified in the call for white papers.

Please note: RDE makes every attempt to identify limited submission funding opportunities and provide information on them in a timely manner in order to coordinate the internal review and selection process. When researchers identify a limited submission program that has not been announced or does not appear on this web page, they should forward the program information immediately to their College-Based Research Officer or contact the RDE at research-development@charlotte.edu.
