Internal Competitions
All limited competitions are completed in 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. Submitting by proxy? If you would like someone to submit an application on your behalf in InfoReady, please follow these instructions to designate them as your proxy. Please note: Issues may arise and could negatively impact the review of an application if a proxy is not officially designated in this manner.
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.
