Summary Proposal Submission and Selection - new for this solicitation

In addition to describing NSRP areas of R&D interest, the RA provides an overview of the proposal submission and selection process, including submittal deadlines. As the chart below illustrates, once an RA is issued, proposers are encouraged to begin development of summary proposals. Summary proposal requirements, including length and content, are included in the Research Announcement and an accompanying Proposal Preparation Kit. After summary proposals are submitted, they are reviewed by third-party subject matter experts, followed by an industry expert panel. They are then reviewed and selected for funding by the Executive Control Board. Proposers whose summary proposals are selected by the the Executive Contol Board are then invited to submit Full Statements of Work, Cost Proposals and Technology Transfer & Implementation Plans, which are reviewed for compliance per the requirements of the solicitation. The final step for those proposals which meet the above-described criteria is funding award.
