Limited Submissions 3/18/14 SERIES 4, SESSION 3 OF AAPLS – TITLE APPLICANTS & ADMINISTRATORS PREAWARD LUNCHEON SERIES
What is a Limited Submission? • A Limited Submission is a funding opportunity for which the sponsoring agency has limited the number of proposals an institution may submit. • ORA facilitates the limited submission process to ensure such submission restrictions are met. http://viceprovost.tufts.edu/researchadmin/find-funding/process-for-limited-submissions-competitions/limited-submissions/
So what’s the BIG deal? Submitting too many proposals may result in the automatic rejection of all proposals from Tufts.If a faculty or staff member identifies a limited submission prior to an ORA announcement, they should notify ORA immediately to ensure that no more than the specified number of applications are submitted.
How does the Tufts research community get notified of upcoming limited submissions? • ORA Funding Opportunities E-list To subscribe, go here: • Health Sciences Campus (Boston/Grafton):https://elist.tufts.edu/wws/info/fundingopportunities • Medford/Somerville Campus:https://elist.tufts.edu/wws/info/medfordcampusfundingopportunities • ORA’s limited submission webpage http://viceprovost.tufts.edu/researchadmin/find-funding/process-for-limited-submissions-competitions/limited-submissions/

How does ORA find and identify limited opportunities? • Sponsors may contact OVPR, CFR, the President’s Office, or the Provost’s Office with notifications • Email • Mail • Newsletters • Some opportunities are released annually • Search engines are patrolled
An Ideal Limited Submission Process March 1: Sponsor releases funding announcement, deadline on June 30 March 6: ORA releases internal EOI, deadline on March 13 March 14: ORA requests full materials, deadline on March 28 March 29: ORA convenes an internal review committee, deadline on April 12 April 15: ORA notifies candidates of outcome, selected candidate(s) have over two months to prepare their application.
What materials are required to submit internally?

Full Materials: • Resume/CV/Biosketch • Brief Project Description • Any additional information, as required by the Sponsor guidelines
Review and Selection Based on the expertise required for the individual program, the Vice Provost for Research will determine which process below is most appropriate: • A review panel is established to review the potential applications and recommend selections (committee members remain anonymous); or • Ask the Dean or Deans of a specific school or schools to determine selections; or • A specific individual should be asked to review and recommend selection; or • The review should be conducted by the Standing Committee (the Standing Committee consists of the research deans from each school)
