APPLYING FOR FUNDING

Due to the diversity and complexity of potential research proposals, NOCSAE has instituted a two-phase application procedure. Those interested in seeking funding are required to first submit a Preliminary Grant Application. These brief, one page proposals are reviewed by the NOCSAE Board of Directors. The Board votes to invite Full Grant Applications from these preliminary proposals after consideration of the current goals and the available funds. The invited full proposals are assigned and reviewed by an external scientific study section. Their critiques are presented to the NOCSAE Board and the final decision for funding is made by the NOCSAE Board of Directors.

Full Grant Application Review Guidelines

The review criteria for full grant applications are based on criteria adopted by the National Institute of Health for its extramural research. The guidelines are available here to aid both reviewers and applicants.
