Limited Submission Funding Opportunities

Click here for current limited submission opportunities

All Mass General investigators interested in applying for a limited submission award submit a letter of intent (see detailed instructions below) to the Executive Committee on Research (ECOR) by the deadline indicated for each award to be considered for an institutional nomination.

Submission Process

Submit a one- to two-page letter of intent (LOI) to the Mass General Executive Committee on Research (ECOR) via email to ecor@partners.org. In addition to your LOI, please include an NIH Biosketch.

The letter of intent should include:

  1. Name of the Principal Investigator with appropriate contact information
  2. A descriptive title of the potential application
  3. Brief description of the project
  4. Brief description of why you should be selected to receive an institutional nomination for this award

In the event that more than one Mass General investigator is interested in applying for a limited submission award, the LOIs will be used to assess candidates, and a review and selection process will take place.

If you have any questions about limited funding opportunities or our process, please contact ECOR at ecor@partners.org or 617-643-7420.
