Limited Submission Opportunities (LSOs)
Limited submission opportunities (LSOs) are grant opportunities for which GW can only put forward a limited number of proposals (usually a single application is allowed). The CFR Office partners with the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) to administer the LSO process for foundation and corporate funders. A university committee selects the most competitive proposal(s) to submit to the funder.
You can view a current list of LSOs in the GW Funding Opportunities database.
To submit a proposal for an LSO at GW, please:
- Identify the LSO competition you’re applying for through the GW Funding Opportunities database or OVPR’s website and learn as much as you can about selection criteria for grant awards.
- Develop and upload all required documents to GW’s InfoReady system.
- After the selection committee makes a decision about which proposal(s) will be advanced on behalf of GW, the CFR Office will notify you, and provide assistance with your final LOI and/or full proposal to the foundation or corporation, if your application has been selected.
