The review process | Print full application guidelines
An internal review panel carefully reviews every LOI that meets our criteria. Following the initial review, we will inform applicants within two months of receipt whether the inquiry fits our current priorities and resources. Due to limited resources, we cannot request proposals from all inquiries that meet our criteria. If we decide to request a full proposal, a Program Officer will contact the applicant to provide instructions on applying for a grant and request additional information. An invitation to submit a proposal does not guarantee funding.
An internal review panel also carefully considers all solicited proposals; occasionally, we invite external experts to review proposals as well. We are diligent in our efforts to respond promptly to proposals. Assuming potential grantees' timely responses to requests for information, the entire review and approval process typically takes approximately six months.
