- Limited Submission
Limited Submission requires an internal review and selection process for any funding opportunity that specifies limits to the number of pre-proposal or proposal submissions; the internal review is necessary in order to determine which proposal will represent the University in regional, national or international competitions. Before applying for an opportunity with limited submission requirements, applicants must follow the limited submission process to secure authorization from the Office of the Vice Provost for Research to submit on behalf of Indiana University. These limited submission opportunities will be announced via email notification to Deans of Schools within IU East. - American Council of Learned Societies
