Some of the funding opportunities listed below have limits upon how many proposals may be submitted by UNH. These are indicated with an *. To facilitate a fair and strategic University-wide selection process, please indicate your interest in applying to any of these * programs by sending a 1-2 page summary of your intended project to the VP for Research no later than 2 months before the sponsor's deadline. If more PIs indicate interest than the number of proposals allowed, the VPR and his Faculty Advisory Committee will make strategic choices re: which proposals will go forward from UNH. If it is past the internal deadline (but before the sponsor's deadline) you may still contact the VPR to see if there are any remaining openings. Occasionally the nature of a program requires that a longer proposal preparation period be allowed. For these programs, a Note indicating the revised internal deadline appears below the program URL.
