Limited Submission Opportunities
Some sponsors restrict the number of proposals that may be submitted from a single institution. When this occurs, the University of Montana coordinates an internal review process to ensure we do not exceed the sponsor’s limit.
New limited submission opportunities are announced via the weekly newsletter. If you’re interested in applying, you must submit a concept by the posted deadline.
Internal Review Process
Internal statements of intent are evaluated by the Vice President for Research (VPR). Chairs, deans, or other reviewers may be consulted at the VPR’s discretion—particularly in cases with multiple submissions from a single unit. All applicants will be notified by email whether their project is selected to move forward.
How to Submit
To be considered, submit the following via the submission form by the end of the day of the internal deadline.
- Opportunity Title
-
Concept (must be submitted as a single PDF file)
-
Project Description: Include a brief overview of your proposed project, its potential impact, and a list of senior personnel with institutional affiliations. The project description does not have a page limit, but we suggest that you keep your concept between one and three pages in length. Full biosketches are not required at this stage.
-
Preliminary Budget and Narrative: Provide an estimated budget and short narrative describing anticipated costs (e.g., personnel, travel, supplies, subawards, indirect cost recovery). A full detailed budget is not necessary.
