Welcome back to MicroLearning Mondays, our biweekly series of bite-sized research administration trainings brought to you by the Department of Contracts and Grants.
This week’s topic: Updated Limited Submission Process at USC
Why It Matters: Some funding opportunities come with restrictions on the number of proposals USC can submit. These are called limited submissions, and they require extra coordination to ensure that only the most competitive proposals move forward. To support fairness across schools and faculty while keeping USC competitive on the national stage, the Limited Submissions process has been updated. By understanding how to recognize these opportunities early and follow the correct routing steps, you help ensure compliance, avoid missed deadlines, and strengthen USC’s overall research profile.
