    If an institution exceeds the limit, the result can be disqualification of all of the institution’s proposals from the competition. If the number of people interested in a particular limited submission is greater than the institutional limit, Research Development will coordinate an internal competition to determine which proposals are allowed to proceed with submission to the agency.

    Notifications of interest are due by close of business on the NDSU Notification Deadline.

    If you identify a new limited submission opportunity, please notify ndsu.researchdev@ndsu.edu.

    For programs marked "First to Notify," approval to move forward with a full proposal submission to the funder will be given on a first come, first served basis.

    These programs either

    did not receive any notifications of interest by the internal deadline, or

    did not have enough time before the agency deadline for a standard internal limited submission process.

    All limited submission programs from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) are "First to Notify" unless listed otherwise.
