Institutionally Limited Proposals
The Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation is responsible for coordinating the internal review and selection of competing proposals when their number exceeds what is allowed by the sponsor as specified in their program announcement or request for proposals. This applies to all types of proposals (fellowship, individual awards, equipment, training, research, etc.), sponsors (federal, state, foundation, etc.), and award types (grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, etc.).
If you become aware of a proposal opportunity that imposes a restriction on MSU as a whole and you would like to apply, please communicate this to your departmental administrator or dean's office and to the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation at limited@msu.edu as early as possible.
Please direct questions and Notices of Intent to Apply to:
