This course provides an overview of NSF's Research Traineeship (NRT) program, the limited submission process, and institutional resources available to PIs at the University of Utah.

The NSF Research Traineeship Program (NRT) is considered a Limited Submission Opportunity (LSO). LSOs are extramural funding opportunities that limit the number applications submitted per institution. Researchers interested in submitting to a specific LSO must first apply to an internal competition and be selected for full proposal submission to the opportunity's sponsor. Internal competitions help verify the eligibility of an applicant and ensure that another application has not already been selected to submit to a specific limited submission opportunity. Researchers interested in applying to an LSO are strongly encouraged to review all UofU LSO Best Practices (Links to an external site.), prior to submitting to an LSO.
