Limited Submission Opportunities
Many federal agencies and foundations offer grants, awards, and fellowships that limit the number of applications that can come from one institution. In order to increase the chances of the UW succeeding in such “limited submission opportunity” (LSO) applications, the Office of Research has established a procedure to review pre-proposals in a timely fashion. Visit the Limited Submission Opportunities page for more information.
