Limited Competitions
A limited competition is a solicitation from
a sponsor where only a certain number of proposals can be submitted
from an institution. The following policy has been established for
submitting proposals to these limited competition announcements:
- It is the responsibility of the
researcher/PI to check the award announcement to see if it is a
limited competition.
- The researcher must indicate their
intent to apply by finding the RFP on the ORSP Funding
Opportunities page (ORSP
Funding Opportunities), clicking on the “Limited” link, and signing
up.
- If the RFP is not on the ORSP Funding
Opportunities page, the researcher must contact ORSP no less
than 30 days prior to the submission deadline in order to
notify them of their intent to apply.
- If there are more potential applicants
than the solicitation allows, the Office of the Vice President
for Research will conduct an internal competition in order to
determine which proposal(s) will be submitted to the sponsor.
Please read the revised Policy
regarding
Limited & Internal Competitions here.
Please feel free to contact ORSP or Vicki
Nemeth, Office of the V.P. for Research (581-3399,
vicki.nemeth@umit.maine.edu) with any questions or
concerns. |
