REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
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 (Institute) / North Carolina State University (NCSU) Textile and Materials Research Consortium’s Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Program. The deadline for submitting COMPLETE proposals is February 27, 2009 at 5:00 pm (proposals must be delivered by February 27, 2009). No exceptions will be made to this deadline. Use overnight delivery if needed. Proposals can also be delivered by e-mail (see below), but no confirmation of delivery will be made available. E-mail submissions must be followed up with a printed copy with 30 days.
Total available funds are approximately $600,000. This includes funds for any Institute 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 $100,000 not including Institute Fellows, with average awards anticipated to be $40,000. The anticipated starting date for projects is no earlier than April 1, 2009 for those projects that include an Institute Fellow and July 1, 2009 for all others. Projects funded must be completed by July 1, 2010, including the final researcher report. 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.
