Submitting a Proposal
An annual call for proposals is announced through the UC ANR Update, UC ANR Portal, and using Collaborative Tools for existing research projects. However, off-cycle research projects are generally accepted outside the normal call for proposals (March-April) as long as space and labor are available. Some Centers also have mailing lists and newsletters and offer announcements through those media. Proposals are required to be submitted by the Project Leader (Project Principal Investigator).
Submit Your Proposal:
- Determine if your project is a Research & Extension or Extension ONLY project.
- Click on the corresponding buttons below this section to open the online proposal form for the type of project you want to submit.
- Fill out and submit the online form.
- If time does not permit filling out the whole online form in one go, feel free to download this proposal submission MS Word template or this one for Extension ONLY projects and fill it out at your convenience. Once finished and you're ready to submit, simply transfer your responses to the online form by copying and pasting them. Then submit form.

Continuing Projects Review:
Each year, active projects will undergo a comprehensive annual review to:
- Assess project continuation for the next fiscal year
- Identify and evaluate any significant changes or developments
The review process will be initiated via email to the Principal Investigator (PI), providing detailed information about the review and next steps. PI's should anticipate and carefully review communication from Kearney REC.
Creating a ClickUp Account for Project Management:
Upon approval of your project, you may receive an email invitation to create a free ClickUp account. This account will allow you to manage and view your project details. Once your account is set up, you will be granted access to your project.
