Limited Submission
A Limited Submission is a funding program for which the sponsor has restricted the number of applications or proposals an institution can submit in response to that program.
Graduate Student Research
Money to fund and finish your degree is only one reason to apply for a research grant. The money you receive can help you take your work to a new level by providing you with access to rare materials and expensive equipment. For example, traveling research grants can support the cost of transportation to research sites all over the world. Or if you need access to materials or equipment at a laboratory or special collections library, institutional grants can cover the costs of visiting and using these research facilities. There are also grants to help cover the costs of materials for a particular project.
Don’t forget the long-term benefits: the ability to make a case for your work, and convince others to support it, is a useful skill wherever you go. Having grant credits on your resume or curriculum vitae says a lot to future employers, hiring committees and even future research funders.
When looking for grants, remember to think big. Maximize your grant possibilities by recognizing the “crossover possibilities” of your project. Maybe you’re working in English, but your project has a historical bent. Or your project in communications has applications for women’s studies. Be aware of all of the potential classifications of your research topic as you look for grants. Also, don’t neglect new grant offerings: newer and smaller awards attract fewer applicants, improving your chances of getting noticed. Like an investment in an up-and-coming company, the “prestige” value of a new grant will increase over time as awareness of the award grows.
