Internal Competitions

Please note that we are currently in the process of transitioning our limited competitions process over to InfoReady. You can sign into InfoReady using your Net-ID and your @stonybrook.edu email address. Please allow sufficient time to familiarize yourself with the portal prior to submitting. 

Recent Federal Executive Orders and other federal actions affecting federally funded research have resulted in changes to some federal funding opportunities. Consequently, we may need to update our posted limited competitions to remain aligned with these ongoing adjustments. We encourage you to check this page regularly for the latest updates.

Questions should be directed to OPD_OVPR@stonybrook.edu.
