Submittable is a software that organizations big and small use to collect submissions and applications to all kinds of opportunities, such as grants, awards, fellowships, and more. Organizations may give applicants the ability to add another person to collaborate with them on a submission form. If you received a request to collaborate, read these FAQs for more information.
