How to Apply
Application Process
The application process is initiated by taking an eligibility quiz to establish both institutional and team eligibility. Eligible teams will be linked to a pre-proposal application form. The window for submitting pre-proposals will open July 15 and the deadline for pre-proposal submission is September 15. Pre-proposals will be reviewed by RCSA program officers and pre-proposals most closely meeting the review criteria and considered to have the highest prospects for establishing a sustainable program of cross-disciplinary collaborative research will be invited to submit the full application with an application target date of November 15. Approval for full proposal submission will occur on or around October 1. It is anticipated that approximately 5-7 awards will be made in 2011.
Review Criteria
a)Scientific significance, originality and feasibility of the research project.
b) Composition of the team and qualifications of the team members to advance the problem proposed.
c) Potential for the project to be sustained by attracting significant federal funding by the end of the MI-CCSA period.
d) Probability that the project will produce peer-reviewed publications, and engage and advance undergraduates to science careers.
e) Potential of the project to further cross-disciplinary work more broadly at the home institution and contribute to building a supportive culture for teaching and research across departmental boundaries.
Review Process:
RCSA program officers will screen pre-proposals. External scientific experts, RCSA program officers and the Foundation's Scientific Advisory Committee will review full proposals. Notification of awards will be made in mid-May, with funding available in early July.
