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. |

Export Control Regulations
It is imperative that University researchers have a basic
understanding of Export Control
Regulations (ECR) so they can know when they need to seek
further guidance for a particular activity that may be subject to
ECR. Otherwise, they may unwittingly find themselves on the wrong
side of the law and ignorance is not a valid defense.
