When a limited submission program is detected, an announcement is drafted and signed by the Vice Chancellor for Research.
Applicants submit pre-proposals by the campus deadline stated in the announcement.
The Academic Senate Committee on Research then reviews these pre-proposals, using the sponsor's guidelines to rank the most competitve candidates and proposals. The chosen candidates are informed to prepare a full proposal for submission to the sponsor's program. The chosen candidate must also submit the proposal to the OVCR for review and institutional signatures at least five working days before the proposal must be mailed in order to meet the sponsor's deadline.
