• Sponsors often limit applications for a grant or fellowship by instructing universities to nominate only one or a small number of candidates. This requirement places the task of selection of the nominee(s) on the institution. The eligibility and nomination rules of these programs, many of which are established annual competitions, vary widely. Management of these opportunities is the responsibility of the Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR).
