Limited Submissions
In some cases sponsors limit the number of applications that an institution may submit for a particular grant program.
As a potential principal investigator, you are responsible for notifying Research Initiatives of your interest in a program two months prior to the agency deadline. If you have any questions or identify a program of interest that does not appear below, please contact Steve Atkinson (sda@uwm.edu, x4062).
If interest exceeds allowable submissions for a particular program, Research Initiatives will announce an internal campus competition and set a deadline for preliminary proposals. Follow the procedures in the campus internal announcement on what to include in the pre-proposal.
A sample internal pre-proposal might include:
- Working title of your proposal
- Principal investigator name/e-mail address/phone number
- Co-principal investigators
- Designate new submission or resubmission
- Curriculum vita of each investigator
- Department chair name/e-mail address
- Dean/Director name/e-mail address
- Internal preliminary proposal deadline
- Agency deadline
- One page budget (salary, benefits, equipment, travel, etc.)
- Two- to three-page project description, single spaced
The partial list of programs below includes submission limits, deadlines for notifying Research Initiatives, and agency deadlines. In some cases the agency has not announced the future deadline of a continuing program. In other cases the deadline may have passed; however, the future deadline will probably occur a year from the latest deadline. Follow the links for detailed information. Please notify Steve Atkinson (sda@uwm.edu, x4062) at least two months prior to the agency deadline if you intend to submit a proposal.
