Open RFPs

Submit a proposal for the Research Priority Program

This program enables us to address broadly relevant subscriber issues, challenges, and opportunities with targeted research, often in a series of projects. We utilize an online proposal submission system to collect incoming proposals for the Research Priority Program.

Early submission of proposals and supporting documents is highly encouraged.

1. Select a Proposal

Review the list of open RFPs, noting their deadline and objectives. Download the RFP to learn more about the requirements of the RFP. Please ensure your organization can comply with the requirements of the RFP and proposal submission process specified in the proposal guidelines before beginning a proposal.

 

2. Instructions For Preparing Proposals

Full proposals must be submitted online using the unique project specific link within each RFP. Follow the guidelines to create each proposal component (e.g. project abstract, project description, budget, etc.) You will assemble your proposal components into two proposal packets. See pages 5 – 13 of the Guidelines to build your proposal packets. A recommended naming convention for your two packets is: YourOrgName_Packet1.pdf and YourOrgName_Packet2.pdf.

See Guidelines and forms 

3. Use the Submission System

Follow the unique project specific link within the RFP and complete the information presented in the online form. Upload your two proposal packets as PDF files, which contain your technical documents and your financial documents. Please ensure you upload the required documents before the deadline. Proposals submitted after the deadline will not be accepted.

Note: you will receive a confirmation email after you submit your proposal.  Check your spam folder if it is not received.   Retain that confirmation email as it contains a link back to your proposal.
