Grant Funding Opportunities – Limited Submissions

The Limited Submission Program at UNT Health has two primary goals:

1. To ensure all qualified investigators have a fair opportunity to compete for funding opportunities.
2. To support submission of the most competitive proposals on behalf of the university.

When multiple investigators express interest in a limited submission opportunity, there will be an internal review of submitted abstracts. If more than the allowable number of applications are received, the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) will review the abstracts and confirm support from the associated colleges to determine which proposals will move forward.

New – Limited Submission Exemption Request Form:

To better accommodate highly specific or time-sensitive funding opportunities, a Limited Submission Exemption Request Form has been created. This form allows a PI to request exemption from the standard internal competition process by providing:

• A direct link to the funding opportunity (NOFO/RFA), and
• A justification for why the opportunity is uniquely applicable to their program.

Exemption requests will be reviewed by the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) within 72 hours. If granted, the PI may proceed through the normal proposal routing process. If not granted, the investigator will need to participate in the standard limited submission process.

Faculty and staff who identify limited submission opportunities not listed on the website are asked to notify OSP-Preaward@unthealth.edu immediately so the opportunity can be evaluated and shared campus-wide.

All limited submission proposals should be submitted through InfoReady. If the number of submissions exceeds the sponsor’s limit, the RAC will review and determine which applicant(s) will represent HSC.
