Our office of Funding and Research Development at Ohio State manages all
"limited submission" programs.  Depending on the opportunity, they get
handled in various ways.  However, we maintain an online list of all current
limited submission programs which lists both an internal deadline and the
sponsor deadline.  If there are more potential candidates than meet the
limitation we do one of the following:  1) if all of the requests come from
the same college we kick the decision back to the dean; 2) if more than one
college is involved we a) attempt to get the deans to make a joint decision
or b) we put together a committee of relevant PI's who make the decision or
c) we invite all interested parties to meet and they jointly make the
decision.  We also keep a "yearly calendar" of possible upcoming limited
submission programs so that colleges can plan ahead.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Proposal limitations??

How do you handle this situation:  if a sponsor (NSF for example) allows
only one proposal submission per institution for a specific RFA, however
you have two or more faculty who want to submit a proposal.

Is it handled on a first come/first serve basis?  Do you have an internal
"mini-review" of the proposal by setting an internal deadline date?  What
happens if faculty member #1  pulls out at the last minute?

You can send your comments directly to me at:  xxxxxx@iit.edu

Thanks!
~Domenica
