This APS utilizes a two-step process.
Applicants must first submit a concise (5-page) concept paper designed to clearly communicate their program idea and objectives.
This is not a full proposal.
The purpose of the concept paper is to allow applicants to submit program ideas for evaluation prior to requiring the development of a full proposal application.
After merit review of eligible concept papers, selected applicants will be invited to expand on their program idea(s) by submitting a full proposal application.
Full proposals will go through a second merit review before a final funding decision is made.
E/GP has outlined the process through which potential applicants may apply in Appendix 1 to this APS.
