External funding agencies often limit the number of proposal submissions that a university may submit. This information is always provided in the agency announcement. The following process will be used to determine which proposal(s) may be submitted to any limited submission call for proposals:
- It is the responsibility of the MSU employee (faculty, researcher, center director, etc.) to notify ORD if they identify a proposal announcement that has a limit on the number of proposals that can be submitted.
- Notice of limited submission opportunities will be circulated to Associate Deans for Research, with details about the pre-proposal application and screening process.
- When multiple pre-proposals are received, ORD will convene a panel of faculty and administrators to review the pre-proposals to determine which proposal has the best opportunity for funding.
- Once a decision is made, the principal investigator (PI) of the preproposal is notified that they will represent MSU for the submission and an ORED approval number is provided.
- The ORED approval number must be provided to the Office of Sponsored Projects for the proposal to be submitted to the funding agency
- A PI of a pre-proposal that has been approved to represent the university should notify ORD if for some reason they decide not to submit a proposal for the limited submission. This will allow ORD to notify the next highest-scoring preproposal applicant to submit on behalf of MSU.
