Limited Submission Competition Resources

About Limited Submissions Funding

Sometimes a sponsor imposes a limit on the number of proposals an institution can submit to a funding opportunity. These “Limited Submission” programs must be internally coordinated to ensure that UC Davis only submits the allowable number of proposals. When these programs arise, the Office of Research coordinates the internal process for selecting the applicant(s) who may submit to that funding opportunity. This review process is coordinated through the campus InfoReady Review platform.

Resources for Specific Funding Opportunities

Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Award

The Hartwell Foundation seeks to inspire innovation and achievement by funding early-stage, transformative biomedical research with the potential to benefit children of the United States. It seeks to fund innovative and cutting-edge applied research that has not yet qualified for funding from traditional outside sources.

NIH S10 Instrumentation Grants

ORIP's S10 Instrumentation Grant Programs support purchases of state-of-the-art commercially available instruments to enhance research of NIH-funded investigators. Instruments that are awarded are typically too expensive to be obtained by an individual investigator with a research project grant.

NSF NRT - Research Traineeship Programs

The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program seeks proposals that explore ways for graduate students in research-based master’s and doctoral degree programs to develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to pursue a range of STEM careers. The program is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary or convergent research areas, through a comprehensive traineeship model that is innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs.

About the NSF NRT Program


NSF STC - Science & Technology Centers Program

The Science and Technology Centers (STC): Integrative Partnerships program supports exceptionally innovative, complex research and education projects that require large-scale, long-term awards. STCs focus on creating new scientific paradigms, establishing entirely new scientific disciplines and developing transformative technologies which have the potential for broad scientific or societal impact.
