What is a Limited Submission?
A limited submission solicitation (RFA, RFP, etc.) places a cap on the number of proposals that Auburn may submit to a sponsor. Auburn coordinates limited submissions by sending out a notification via this newsletter and creating competitions in the Auburn University Competition Space (also known as InfoReady). To apply to any limited submission posted in this newsletter, click on the link below and search for your competition listed on the page. Please refer to the Limited Submission Procedures page for a general list of requirements. However, it is recommended that you go to the specific competition as soon as possible and review the requirements to ensure that you are preparing what is requested since the required information for competitions may vary.

The purpose of the DOL Nursing Expansion Grant Program is to address bottlenecks in training the United States (U.S.) nursing workforce and to expand and diversify the pipeline of qualified nursing professionals who can fill quality jobs in healthcare through two training tracks: 1) Nurse Education Professional Track; and 2) Nursing Career Pathways Track.
The first track (Nurse Education Professional Track) will increase the number of nursing instructors and educators (including classroom and vocational/clinical instruction) by training new or upskilling experienced current or former nurses (including retired nurses) into advanced postsecondary credentialing necessary for nurses to become nursing instructors and educators. The second track (Nursing Career Pathways Track) will train participants as frontline healthcare professionals and paraprofessionals, including direct care workers, to advance along a career pathway and attain postsecondary credentials needed for middle- to high-skilled nursing occupations during the grant period of performance.
Institutional Limit: 1 Proposal
Internal Deadline: November 4, 2022 4:45 pm

Auburn University is committed to sustaining and supporting diversity in all its forms toward advancing the institutional academic and land grant mission. In that regard, the Office of Inclusion and Diversity (OID) in collaboration with the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development (OVPRED) is administering the Office of Inclusion and Diversity Exploratory Grants Program. This program is the inaugural cycle of funding to foster the development and growth of innovative and transformational scholarly and creative efforts that are exploratory toward successful proposals for larger external grants that center on topics of diversity, equity, inclusion, inclusive excellence, justice, and other related concepts.
The first step is submitting a mandatory, non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) through the AU Competition Space (InfoReady). For more information, please contact Dr. JuWan Robinson: jdr0097@auburn.edu
Mandatory Letters of Intent Due: November 4, 2022 4:45 pm

The Semiquincentennial Grant Program supports the preservation of a broad variety of cultural resources associated with the founding of America as a nation in commemoration of the country’s Semiquincentennial (250th anniversary) in 2026. For the purposes of this grant program, the “founding of the nation” is defined as the period ending December 31, 1800. This date corresponds to the election of 1800, as the peaceful transfer of power following the contested election between John Adams and Thomas Jeferson represents a hallmark of democracy and a pivotal moment in American history. The founding of the nation does not have a defined starting period. This FOA covers both Pre-preservation Projects and Preservation Projects.
Proposals Due: December 6, 2022 11:59 pm ET

The objective of this FOA is to encourage optimal utilization of large domestic animals in high-priority areas of biomedical and agricultural research. This initiative is designed to facilitate and encourage carefully designed research studies through meticulous selection of farm animals that mimic human developmental, physiological, and etiological processes to better understand the biology of normal reproduction and reproductive pathophysiology, normal and abnormal metabolism, developmental origin of diseases, precision nutrition, and improve prevention and treatment of diseases in both human and agriculturally important domestic farm animals. The anticipated outcomes include both the elucidation of fundamental information relevant for the improvement of human health and an increase in the quality of healthy animal products. It is envisioned that each application will address mission-relevant areas of both agencies.
Proposals Due: December 15, 2022 5:00 pm
