You may submit a proposal as the project leader for only one project at a time. But you may be a project member or co-applicant on multiple grants simultaneously. You have to submit a final report and media from any previous grants for which you were the leader before applying to lead a new project.
Organizations can apply for grants, however, the individual within the organization that will lead the job –not the institution–ought to be the candidate and will be expected to meet the requirements of the grant.
Students should not submit in their adviser’s name. The person responsible for executing the project should apply and write the application.
