Research Development

Limited submissions announcements restrict the number of applications or proposals that an institution may submit for consideration. This requires that campuses screen potential submissions to determine which will go forward to the sponsor. At UT Dallas, the Office of Research Development is responsible for managing this process.

Limited submission announcements are posted on the OVPR website and emailed to targeted deans, program heads, and professors who may have an interest. Researchers who wish to be considered for the limited submission funding opportunity must submit the required summary to ORD via the Research Explorer site according to the deadlines listed. Summaries are typically one page long and detail the researcher(s) involved, basic research or program concept, and how their proposal best fits the referenced solicitation.

If more applications are received than the university is allowed to submit, a review committee will be developed in consultation with the VP of Research. Some contests may still be open past the deadline if fewer than the approved number of applicants is received. In this situation, applications are accepted on a first-come basis until the approved number is reached. All applicants and their deans will be notified of the results and the names of those selected will also be posted on the limited submission website.

The table below provides internal application deadlines and links to the full proposals for selected limited submission opportunities. If a professor is interested in a limited submission funding opportunity that is not listed below, he or she should contact the Office of Research Development. The table below should not be considered an exhaustive list of opportunities.
