Limited Submission Programs
Limited submission programs are those for which funding agencies restrict the number of proposals or nominations a university may submit for consideration for an award. The University of Texas at Austin, therefore, must internally screen all eligible and interested nominees to determine which will represent the university in the funding agency’s competition.
Below is a tabulated list of limited submission programs in which UT Austin currently competes. The table lists sponsor deadlines, as well as internal competition deadlines. Anticipated dates (month and year) for future deadlines are marked with a dagger (†) and are updated as deadlines are confirmed by sponsors.
Follow the link provided for each active limited submission opportunity to submit your application through the UT Austin online submission portal. Links are not activated unless an internal competition is currently accepting submissions. To receive email announcements whenever a new internal competition is launched, subscribe to our Limited Submission mailing list.
Every effort will be made to maintain current and accurate information within this list; however, the awarding agency’s posted information remains the final authority.
If you are interested in applying for a limited submission opportunity, but do not see it listed in the table, let us know.
