Limited Submission & Program Grant Requirements

Two types of grant proposals require additional institutional approval beyond the chair and dean, and these must be discussed with the Office of Research prior to submission.  

(1) Limited Submission Grants

A limited submission grant is a funding program for which the sponsor has restricted the number of applications or proposals an institution can submit in response to that program. KSU determines which proposals can move forward.

If a limited submission deadline is less than 30 days away, priority goes first to any team that has applied to the opportunity and received strong reviews in a recent previous cycle, and second to whichever team submits their ITS first.

If a limited submission deadline is 30 or more days away, priority will be determined through a mandatory internal competition.

Responsibility of the principal investigator (PI):

  • The PI must check InfoReady to see if there is already a limited submission competition for the opportunity.
  • If InfoReady does not contain a competition, the PI must email us at researchdev@kennesaw.edu to express their interest.

(2) Program Implementation Grants

Program Implementation Grants include scholarship programs for students (NSF, NRC, DOE), college readiness programs for local area high school students, and other programs where KSU is providing a program for either KSU or external constituents. Proposals for such programs must be approved by the university because they represent KSU and often only one proposal from KSU will be considered, although there is no official limitation on the number of proposals from an institution.

Responsibility of the PI:

  • The PI must email us at researchdev@kennesaw.edu if a proposal is being developed for any program that requires this additional institutional approval from KSU.
