Internal Application Process

Funding

For funding opportunities that limit the number of applications per institution, Yale University holds internal competitions to select the candidates who will submit applications to the sponsoring agencies.

Internal competition procedures are specific to each funding opportunity. For most opportunities, this includes a required Letter of Intent (LOI) followed by an Internal Application (IA).

Please review important guidance provided in the Yale Limited Submission Process.

Questions about Limited Submissions (including Scholar Awards) may be directed to internal.proposals@yale.edu.
