• There will be increased spending oversight and expectations for specific reporting on economic impact, including job creation and retention. This will require modifications in some projects methodology. Also, Stimulus Plan funds will be tracked differently than usual Federal funds. In those instances when funding competitions allow only one university proposal, please go to the IU limited submission page for information located here.

Limited Submission Proposals

Indiana University requires an internal proposal review and selection process prior to applying to sponsors that limit the number of pre-proposal or proposal from applicant organizations. The internal review determines which proposal will represent the University in regional, national or international competitions. This requires that a proposal must be ready well in advance of the submission date. More information about the IU limited submission policy and procedures is available here.

*This site will be expanded to include up-to-date information on the increase in funding opportunities from federal sponsors.
