Instructions for completing a grant application
Due Date: July 7, 2008
The following information provides instructions for completing an Innovation Funding grant proposal.
1) Complete this online proposal form no later than July 7.
A link with an authorization code has been emailed to you. You may want to bookmark this page for easy returns. Use the same login name and password from your Letter of Intent and you will be able to log off and on to the form as needed. Be sure to save information on the form frequently.
The basic information you provided with your Letter of Intent has been transferred to your grant application so that you do not have to fill in this information again. You may, of course, update any information on the form that has changed.
The form should be self explanatory. You are not limited by number of pages; however it is best to answer the questions directly and succinctly.
The budget should be for the entire project and all entries should be rounded to the nearest dollar. Remember that indirect expenses are limited to no more than 10% of the total. On the budget narrative/justification, please detail what is included in each expense line item and indicate how the expense item supports the achievement of the project.
To submit your completed application, simply push the “Submit Now” button. You will receive an emailed acknowledgement that your application has been received soon after you submit it.
