Limited Submission Programs (LSPs)

Limited Submission Programs (LSPs)

Overview

  • Funding opportunities that have limits on the number of proposals submitted by UNH

  • UNH process for selecting which proposals will be submitted

  • Special considerations when applying to foundations and other not-for-profit sponsors

Some funding opportunities have limits set by the sponsors upon how many proposals may be submitted by UNH. 

 

        

For a list of  limited submission programs with deadlines in the near-future, as well as ongoing programs with not-for-profit sponsors,
see: LSPs to Act on Now

 

Standardized procedures have been implemented to facilitate a fair and strategic University-wide process to select the proposals to be submitted to these programs:

(1) Selection of the proposals for the National Endowment to the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipend program is conducted by the Center for the Humanities.
            

(2) State-wide competitions for EPSCoR funding opportunities (NSF, NASA, etc.) are coordinated by the NH EPSCoR office.


(3) All proposals to the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation must be cleared with Diane Schaefer,  UNH Advancement Office/UNH Foundation.
 
UNH Process for applying to NHCF


(4)
Internal competitions for programs of high interest
will be announced by the Director of Research Development and Communications (DRDC) via an email that will contain the deadlines and details of the competition. Information also will be posted on the LSPs to Act on Now page.

These programs include (but are not limited to) the following:

NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI)
NSF Integrated Graduate Education & Research Training (IGERT)
NSF Partnerships for Research & Education (PIRE)

(5) For all other sponsors/programs, please indicate your interest in applying by sending to to the DRDC no later than 2 months before the sponsor's deadline:

  • 1-2 page summary of your intended project
  • Sponsor's name, specific program name, deadline date, and a URL for the program guidelines (or attach a copy of the guidelines)

If more PIs indicate interest than the number of proposals allowed, the DRDC, in consultatons with the Senior Vice Provost for Research and an Advisory Committee, will determine whether an internal competition will be conducted to inform their strategic choices re: which proposals will go forward from UNH.

(6) If it is past the internal deadline (i.e., within 2 months of the sponsor's deadline), contact the DRDC to see if there are any remaining openings.

   IGERT     INFO

The NSF Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship Program (IGERT) has been discontinued.

A new program, the NSF Research Traineeships Program (NRT), will focus on research traineeships, but will have substantial changes from IGERT.

The solicitation is expected to be released this summer. 

Contact k.cataneo@unh.edu to express interest and request to be notified as information becomes available.

Internal preliminary proposal submission guidelines will be provided if the new solicitation limits the number of proposals per institution.
