PI Eligibility and Requesting Exceptions:
Only eligible MSU faculty members may submit a proposal as a PI without requesting PI exception approval. Information regarding who can submit a proposal and the steps for requesting PI exception approval can be found at the PI Eligibility and Requesting Exceptions webpage.
Institutionally Limited Proposals and Requesting Approval:
Many funding agencies place limits on the number of pre-proposals or proposals that any one university may submit in response to a request for proposal. If a university exceeds the agency limit, all the proposal submissions may be disqualified. To prevent disqualification MSU has a formal process for reviewing and approving Institutionally Limited proposals.
Steps for Requesting Approval to Submit a Proposal with an Institutional Limit:
Please see the Office of Research and Innoation's website for prcedures on limited submissions. Office of Research and Innovation will notify OSP when approval is given to the principal investigator to submit to the limited solicitation.
Institutionally limited fellowships submitted by graduate students are managed by the graduate school. Please contact the Graduate School (gradschool@grd.msu.edu) office for more information and to receive approval to move forward with an application.
