Deadlines for Key Funding Opportunities
Welcome to the Funding Bulletin from the Research Development team!
You can find on this page a table of Limited Submissions funding opportunities that have upcoming deadlines. You can also find tables of key funding opportunities in the Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, Health, Science & Technology, and those in other disciplines or that cross multiple disciplines. These tables highlight Top American Research Universities (TARU) awards which are honored by FSU's Extraordinary Accomplishment Program, career development awards, notable annual/cyclical awards, and other valuable opportunities.
To use the Funding Bulletin most optimally, be sure to check for funding opportunities not only under the tab for your discipline, but also under the tabs, "Limited Submissions" and "Other & Multidisciplinary."
To expand your funding search, explore Pivot, a web-based discovery tool compiling thousands of funding opportunity announcements. For a personal consultation, reach out to the RD team (RD@fsu.edu). You can find staff support contacts for each discipline here.
Upcoming Deadlines for Limited Submissions
This table compiles funding opportunities from all disciplines which are Limited Submissions programs.
Limited Submissions programs are those for which the sponsor restricts the number of applications which an organization may submit. FSU screens pre-proposals to determine which PIs will be permitted to advance applications. FSU has its own internal deadline for Limited Submissions programs. After the internal deadline passes, if application slots remain, PIs are granted slots on a first-come, first-served basis. To express interest in an application slot, or search our complete listing of Limited Submission funding opportunities, visit: https://www.research.fsu.edu/limitedsubmission/.
