The Corporate and Foundation Engagement team manages the limited submission process for private foundation opportunities. Please contact Marilyn Roberts, executive director of foundation engagement, with questions.
The Corporate and Foundation Engagement and Faculty Affairs have implemented a streamlined limited submission process for privately funded faculty awards. This process includes a concise fillable application form that integrates the proposal summary with key information selected from a PI’s C.V. By standardizing the application format, we have enhanced the review process, ensuring greater efficiency, equity, and alignment with other internal faculty recognition procedures.
Please see all active limited submission opportunity postings here.
Specific trainings regarding Limited Submission Opportunities can be found here.
