Limited submission funding opportunities are those in which the number of applications that can be submitted by an institution is limited by the sponsor. Our office manages the limited submission program for both the CU Anschutz and CU Denver campuses and is responsible for institutional nominations with direction and guidance from the Limited Submission Review Committee.
If you are interested in a limited submission opportunity not listed below, please email the limited submissions team.
Note: To coordinate institutional nominations for opportunities not listed, our office requires at least two weeks’ notice prior to the sponsor deadline for non-federal opportunities and at least six weeks’ notice prior to the sponsor deadline for federal opportunities.
