Bob,
Here is my list of sponsors that allow electronic submissions without
institutional approval:
- DOD's NRO and SPAWAR programs
- NEH
- Alzheimer's Assn
- American Cancer Society
- American Heart Assn (but if awarded, PI must get approval within 90 days)
- American Lung Assn
- Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation
- Council for the International Exchange of Scholars (CIES)
- Gates Fdn/NIH Global Health Grand Challenge Prgm
If there are more...it'd be great to find out now rather than after a
faculty member has
submitted something.
