OSU RESEARCH
INCENTIVE PROGRAMS

Limited Submission Grant Opportunities


For certain programs, sponsors allow only a limited number of applications per institution. Typically, there will be an open call to OSU faculty for expressions of interest for these limited submission opportunities. The Vice President for Research is the decision-making authority for determining which applications move forward for consideration.

Listed here are some of the solicitations for which OSU selects representatives. Faculty are welcome to identify such opportunities from these or any sources; contact Debbie Delmore, Coordinator of Special Programs, Research Office before proceeding with submissions.

The Federal Agenda

OSU submits a set of initiatives and requests each year to Oregon's federal Congressional delegation, asking for its assistance in promoting our educational and research programs, and more generally, in maintaining the health of federally supported research in general. Projects considered for the Federal Agenda align with OSU's priorities, promise to become self-sustaining, and offer benefits statewide.
