Submission of Proposals

Request for proposals (RFP) will be rolling for up to 2 years or until available funds are expended. Review of proposals will occur quarterly (Jan 15, April 15, July 15, October 15). A panel of 5 faculty associated with the Earth Hazards and National Security research cluster will review proposals and provide a ranked list to the Dean of Dedman College, who makes final funding determinations.
Proposal and supporting documents must be submitted as a single pdf file via .
Proposals that the reviewer and Dean of Dedman College deem of unusual quality may receive additional funding above the base amount.

Application Requirements

Applicants must submit one digital file (.pdf) with all the following documents; incomplete applications will not be reviewed:

1. The cover page (available in Adobe pdf form).
2. Proposal that describes the work, motivation and impact of work, timeline/milestones, and key deliverables. Graduate students and postdoctoral students can serve as principal investigator but need to provide the name of the supervising faculty member. Proposals longer than 4 pages (>10 pt font, single spaced) including figures, will not be accepted. References do not count toward page count but figures and captions do.
3. Letter of support from the primary faculty sponsor or department chair. Letters should indicate if the recipient has the necessary background to successfully complete the project objectives and if the work will be high impact in the discipline.
4. Two-page curriculum vita of all principal investigators, including work and other experiences relevant to the project.
5. Budget(s) and budget justification

Final Report and Acknowledgement

Recipients may submit a final report to the Earth Hazards and National Security representative within 6 months of the end of funding. A lengthy final report is unnecessary -- generally 2-4 pages is enough.

Research presentations and publications should include the following acknowledgement statement: This research was supported by the Williams Climate Science Research fund through 91制片廠合集.
