Limited Submission Funding Opportunity Program

Limited Submission Funding Opportunity (LSFO) announcements are distributed to faculty via the Office of Strategic Research Initiatives (OSRI).  The announcements provide a brief description of the opportunity, a link to the funding agency’s website and both internal and external deadlines. 

OSRI will make every effort to identify all potential LSFOs and notify relevant faculty members.  If a faculty member or research administrator identifies an LSFO which is not listed in the Open Opportunities, please contact OSRI.    

Letters of Intent:

A faculty member interested in applying for a LSFO is required by OSRI to submit an internal letter of intent (LOI).   Word Version    PDF Version
