Requesting letters of support or commitment, if required. Make sure your recommenders are aware of all deadlines. CFR will draft letters for the president and/or provost if they are required.
If there are no submission guidelines, what format should I use?
Speak with CFR on the best course of action.
Most proposals include the following: • an executive summary
• background information about your institution and project • an explanation of why the project is important • a description of your project methodology • a description of what will be done and who will do it • the expected results and how they will be evaluated • a plan for sharing the results • a case for the sustainability of the project after grant funds are expended • the project timeline and budget
What should I do once I complete a draft of my proposal?
Ask colleagues to read your proposal. Provided advance notice, a CFR staff member can serve as an educated general reader and provide feedback and edits. Additionally, we will help you ensure that the budget reflects everything described in the proposal narrative and that the proposal narrative discusses everything listed in the budget. Then, you can make any remaining revisions and finalize the proposal for submission.
