NSF limits the number of proposals submitted by an organization to the following: 2 proposals.  An eligible organization may participate in two Innovations in Graduate Education proposals per competition. Participation includes serving as a lead organization on a non-collaborative proposal or as a lead organization, non-lead organization, or subawardee on a collaborative proposal. Organizations participating solely as evaluators on projects are excluded from this limitation. Proposals that exceed the institutional eligibility limit (beyond the first two submissions based on timestamp) will be returned without review regardless of the institution's role (lead, non-lead, subawardee) in the returned proposal.

*Please note that Co-PIs on a proposal with someone outside of our institution are still required to submit proposal materials to the Office of Research and Projects. The NSF will count the collaborative proposal toward our institutional limit.

Due to this limit on the number of proposals per institution, interested SIUE applicants must apply to the internal competition by completing the Limited Submission form in Kuali Build by the second Wednesday in January (January 8) by 4:30 pm.
