Request for proposal

NOCSAE has a formal Request for Proposal process, which is a separate process from the Small and Large Grant programs. The RFP program is activated by the board of directors when there is a need to direct research on a specific topic.

Each request for proposal announced by the board will:

  • State the purpose of the investigation
  • Describe the scope and goals of the research topic(s)

Proposals from researchers are required to include the following:

  • Research strategy
  • Investigator biographical sketches
  • Budget

The final decision for funding is made by the NOCSAE Board of Directors.

Questions about RFPs may be directed to Research Director Kim D. Barber Foss PhD at Research@nocsae.org.
