Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the release of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for ANR’s competitive grants program.
As announced, ANR will invest in research, education and outreach projects through a competitive grants program aimed to support high priority issues, encourage collaboration among academics, support short-term high-impact projects, strengthen the research-extension continuum, and contribute policy-relevant outcomes addressing significant statewide economic, environmental and social issues in California.
This RFP will be vital to addressing the strategic initiatives developed in the Strategic Vision 2025. Although state and federal funding prospects will pose significant challenges to the entire University of California, it is essential that ANR resources be directed in a manner consistent with the goals outlined in our Strategic Vision plan.
We have developed a process that invites the submission of Letters of Intent as a first response to the RFP. The deadline for submitting letters of intent is Tuesday, March 15. Applicants selected to submit a full proposal will be notified by Friday, April 1. If eligible, full proposals will be due Monday, May 2.
While the total funding pool available to fund successful proposals will depend on a number of factors, every effort will be made to reasonably match projected resources to highly meritorious projects.
The Strategic Initiative leaders and panels have identified areas where we have the opportunity to make a significant, visible difference to the people of California. We are committed to providing as much support as possible to address those opportunities.
To read further information on submitting letters of intent, please log into your ANR Portal and locate the Universal Review System in the lower right of the portal. Under Open Systems, you can click on ANR Competitive Grants. The full RFP is under System Documents on the right. If you have any questions, contact Vanessa Gomez at (510) 987-0377 or Vanessa.gomez@ucop.edu.
Sincerely,
Executive Working Group
