Proposals are solicited from industrial research institutes, nonprofit organizations, and faculty members of senior colleges and universities for grants under the Institute of Textile Technology (ITT) / North Carolina State University (NCSU) Textile and Materials Research Consortium’s Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Program. The deadline for submitting COMPLETE proposals is September 21, 2007 at 5:00 pm (proposals must be delivered by September 21, 2007). No exceptions will be made to this deadline. Use overnight delivery if needed.
Total available funds are approximately $600,000. This includes funds for any ITT Fellows that may participate in MS Thesis Research at North Carolina State University. A complete application/instruction package for the grant program is available at the Institute website: http://www.itt.edu/. Please follow instructions closely. The maximum award is $50,000 not including ITT Fellows, with average awards anticipated to be $40,000. The anticipated starting date for projects is no earlier than July 1, 2008. Projects funded must be completed by May 1, 2009, except for the final researcher report that will be due before July 1, 2009. Investigators may apply for renewal during the next request for proposals, but such requests will be considered totally separate from this grant cycle. Applications for renewal grants will be evaluated in the same manner as a proposal for new projects.
