Funding Opportunities

• Limited Submissions:  Funding opportunities from sponsors that restrict the number of proposals that an institution can submit. In these cases, the university will typically send out a call for white papers and run an internal competition to identify which proposals can be submitted to the sponsors.
  
  
• Early Career Opportunities: These awards are funding opportunities that target new scholars, who are sometimes considered to be pre-tenure and other times considered to be faculty members who have not worked more than 10 years at an institution of higher education.
  
  
• External Funding Opportunities: These are solicitations from exteranl entities that include but are not limited to federal agencies, state agencies, and non-profit/for-profit organizations. Many of these external funding opportunities can be found in the grantforward database.
