Expert Review of Proposals

To foster the success of competitive proposals for external funding, the Office of Research will provide assistance in obtaining peer review of federal grant proposals prior to submission.

Available for major awards (Guggenheim, NEH, NEA, ACLS)

PI must submit 5 names of potential reviewers and have a completed draft ready for review a minimum of 1 month prior to the submission deadline

Limited Submissions

Federal agencies, foundations and university programs occasionally limit the number of applications/nominations UNL may submit for specific grants and awards. When a call for proposals is "limited," the Office of Research uses an internal selection process to determine which application(s) will be submitted to the sponsor for funding consideration.

Internal funds are available from the Office of Research and from the Research Council to support research, scholarship and creative activities through annual university-wide competitions.
