Many funding agencies place limits on the number of letters of intent, proposals, or applications that any one university may submit in response to an announcement, creating the need for an internal review process.In order to prevent potential disqualification of submissions by the University, guidelines for an internal review process have been established.For further information regarding this process and its requirement, please contact Patricia Scott at pscott@spadmin.usf.edu or 873-4096.
Effective June 1, 2007, the following deadlines are suggested for the Limited Submission Proposals:
60 Days Prior to Agency Deadline - Internal "letters of intent" and pre-proposals must be submitted sixty days prior to the agency deadline in order to allow the Office of Research to select reviewers; discuss the pre-proposals; and to provide recommendations to the AVC for Research and Graduate Studies as to which proposals are eligible to go forward on behalf of USFSP. Complete internal "letters of intent" and pre-proposals that are received after the internal deadline of sixty days will be considered only if NO other pre-proposals have been received. The Faculty Research Council will review all pre-proposals received up to five days prior to the agency deadline for consideration of submission. If pre-proposals are received less that five days prior to the agency deadline, they will be processed on a "first received" basis.
Limited submission proposals must also adhere to the proposal submission guidelines for either paper or electronic submissions, as appropriate.
