Notice/Letter of Intent may be requested by a sponsor to ascertain interest in a project. If the notice/letter
of intent requires a detailed budget or an Authorized Representative signature, it
must be routed in GeauxGrants.
Pre-proposals, also known as preliminary proposals or white papers, may be requested by a sponsor
to ascertain interest in a project. If the preliminary proposal or white paper requires
a detailed budget or an Authorized Representative signature, it must be routed in
GeauxGrants.
New proposals are submitted for initial funding of a project, or a proposal that is being
re-submitted after having been officially declined by the sponsor.
Revision proposals modify a to be funded proposal in response to an indication by the Sponsor
that a project may be funded. Revised proposals keep the same proposal number and
should be routed as a Linked Proposal.
Renewal proposals, also known as a Competing Continuation Proposals, request additional funding
to continue an existing awarded project beyond its original term. This type of proposal
requests additional funds to continue a project that has already been completed, and
proposes a new scope of work.
Resubmission proposals modify an unfunded proposal following initial review and are resubmitted
for consideration. This proposal type is typically reserved for the National Institutes
of Health (NIH).
Continuation proposals keep the same proposal number as the originally submitted proposal because
the additional funding usually comes in the form of an amendment to the original award.
There are two types of continuation proposals. The first is a Continuation-New, which is a proposal requesting additional funds and additional time not originally
approved in the award. The second type is Continuation-Noncompeting, which is a proposal requesting the next year of funds already approved in a multi-year
or multi-phase award. This proposal type is usually in the form of a progress report
(e.g. NIH RPPR, DOE’s plan for next year’s funds).
Supplement proposals request an increase in support for a funded project in a current budget
period and may include expansion of the project’s approved scope. A supplement is
a request for additional funding within the original time period.
