Sponsored programs that limit the number of proposals that can be submitted from each institution are becoming increasingly common. The Office of Research strives to ensure transparency and fairness in these internal competitions with a process that does not overburden either the researcher or the reviewers required to choose the most competitive proposal(s) to represent the University of Notre Dame research effort. The overall objective of this process is to make Notre Dame as competitive as possible in these external competitions.

Some limited opportunities can be found below but this list should be used for planning purposes only. The availability of particular limited opportunities is announced by the Office of Research via email from limited@nd.edu. Please contact limited@nd.edu if you wish to subscribe to the email announcements.

The Office of Research makes every effort to identify all limited competitions. However, if faculty members identify a limited submissions funding opportunity that has not been announced by the Office of Research, please inform us at limited@nd.edu as soon as possible, so the limited selection process can be followed. Faculty may not apply to a limited submission competition without approval from the Office of Research.

A description of the limited submission process can be found here.
