Limited Funding Opportunities (“Limiteds”) are externally sponsored grants that require an internal selection process because the sponsor limits the number of applications that can be submitted by UCI. Interested Applicants submit a pre-proposal to the Office of Research (unless otherwise indicated), and a review committee of faculty peers and knowledgeable staff reviews the proposals and makes a recommendation to the Vice Chancellor for Research about which proposal should go forward from UCI.

Internal Funding Opportunities are, as the name implies, grants internal to UCI because they are offered by a UCI unit to UCI personnel. The selection process may vary depending on which UCI entity is offering the funding and managing the competition, but typically this is a one-stage process where selected applicants are awarded funding directly from the entity holding the competition (e.g., the UCI Research Seed Funding Program, UCI ADRC Pilot Grants, ICTS Campus Incubator Program).
