Pre-Application Information:

Only investigators who submit pre‐proposals are eligible to submit full proposals. Investigators that do not receive a positive review of their pre‐proposal remain eligible for submission of the full proposal.

A 50‐percent match of the federal funds (i.e., 1 dollar of match for every 2 dollars of federal money) is required for this competition. Match may be in the form of in‐kind services or additional funds from a specified institution, agency, industry or nonfederal program. Funding from federal agencies cannot count toward the non‐federal match requirement. Incorporating support from local, state or federal agencies in real or in‐kind funding will enhance the project.

Pre‐proposals are due Friday, February 15, 2019, by 5 p.m. Central Time. No extensions.

The proposal process requires 13 months from the release date of the request for pre‐ proposals to project initiation. The following are process milestones:

- Funding announcement released: December 14, 2018
- Pre‐proposals due: February 15, 2019
- Notification of principal investigators: April 18, 2019
- Full proposals due: June 10, 2019
- Notification of funding decisions: September 6, 2019
- Project initiation: February 1, 2020
