Application Procedure
Each year, contract requests-for-proposals (RFPs) are distributed, with an invitation to prospective applicants to submit brief letters-of-intent. Letters are screened by an expert, independent peer review committee. On this basis, selected organizations are invited to submit full proposals. Peer review of full proposals is conducted in March.
Investigators who have been invited to submit full applications can access our Apply Online facility.
Eligibility
Contracts are available to academic and medical institutions, government agencies at any level, community groups, public/private coalitions, voluntary and for-profit organizations, and multi-organizational consortia.
Conditions of Award
Details concerning the conditions of these awards can be found in the Request for Proposals distributed each year. Unless otherwise noted in the RFP, the allowable expenses and other budgetary parameters for these awards are the same as those stated in the “Research Grants” section of this manual. In particular, investigators must use the NMSS budget forms and format in preparing their budgets. Applications using a format inconsistent with the NMSS format will not be accepted.
