Identical proposals may be submitted to more than one sponsor at a time provided each sponsor is advised that this has occurred. Each sponsor should be given the name of the other recipients of the proposal and the amount of funds requested. In instances where all sponsors are given the same total project budget, it should be specified as to how much of the total budget is being requested of each individual sponsor and for what purpose those funds will be used. Note: Some sponsors have restrictions on the submission of identical proposals to other sponsors. In the case of submissions to Foundations, the Corporate and Foundation Relations Office must also sign off because many private funders will only allow one proposal per institution.
