If you have any questions, please e-mail OVPR at askovpratgwu [dot] edu (askovpr[at]gwu[dot]edu).

When funding agencies or sponsors limit the number of grant applications that the institution may submit, notify askOVPRatgwu [dot] edu (askOVPR[at]gwu[dot]edu) immediately.  OVPR will initiate an internal competition to determine the proposal(s) that may move forward and ensure that GW sends only the allowable number of proposals. Participating in an internal competition is required in order for GW OVPR to move your application forward.
