A limited submission refers to a funding opportunity that places a limitation on the number of proposal or other applications a single eligible entity can submit each cycle. The University of Toledo has an internal selection process in place to determine which application(s) will be submitted to sponsors for consideration. The Office of Research oversees this process for the institution.
