Limited Submission funding opportunities take place when a grant announcement requires a limited number of applications per institution or jurisdiction. This creates an internal competitive process facilitated by EPSCoR and the Research Development Office. Often, limited submission grants are EPSCoR specific.
Follow the steps 1-6 below in order to make a successful Limited Submission
Step 1 - Announcement of Limited Submission Opportunity
The EPSCoR Office will announce Limited Submission Opportunities through campus listservs. Interested parties may also find upcoming submission opportunities via InfoReady Review.
Typically, announcements will allow 2-3 weeks for pre-proposal development.
Those who are interested in being considered for a limited submission must provide a pre-proposal through InfoReady Review.
Pre-proposals must include the following:
Project Title
PI Name, Department, Contact Information
Co-PI Contact Information
Collaborating Institutions Contact Information (if applicable)
Program track (if applicable)
Research focus of the project
Project Summary (max 3-pages)
Scientific plan/description
Overview of methods
Programmatic milestones and timeline
Visual materials (graphs, etc.)
PIs can also include 1-2 paragraphs about how project might contribute to funder goals and research areas
In the case the EPSCoR Office receives more pre-proposal submissions than the limited submission allows, reviews will be conducted using an external committee through The Implementation Group (TIG). This external group will provide feedback and recommendations to the EPSCoR Office for pre-proposal selection.
The EPSCoR Office will announce selection decisions to PIs individually via email. Selected pre-proposal email will include the Pre-Award Office as a way to introduce PIs to their contact within Pre-Award.
After selection, PIs are to begin writing a full proposal. EPSCoR offers assistance in proposal development in the following areas:
Final proposal reviews are conducted by the Pre-Award Office. PIs must have the most complete draft of a proposal in ROAMWyo no later than 5 days before the final deadline at 9:00 AM. The budget and budget justifications are due in ROAMWyo no later than 3 days before the final deadline at 9:00 AM.
There are very few exceptions to these deadlines. Should a PI need an extension on these deadlines, Pre-Award requires an email to Farrell Rapp (fgraf@uwyo.edu) explaining the extenuating circumstances surrounding late review.
The Pre-Award Office will also submit the final proposal on the PI's behalf. For more information on Pre-Award Services, please visit its website.
