Grants and RFPs FAQ

What needs to be submitted with my application?

The broad requirements for each open grant and RFP can be found [here]. As you follow the steps to submit a proposal through the grants portal, you will be shown instructions that outline what you should include in more detail. For further questions, please reach out to [email protected].

My proposal was denied. Can I apply again in the future?

Yes. If you feel you can thoroughly address the reviewers’ feedback and ensure that a future proposal is aligned with Protocol Labs’ research priorities (as you understand them), we would welcome the opportunity to review a future application. It may be possible to set up a call with members of the lab you are interested in to discuss this. Please note that you will need to submit a new proposal, as we do not re-review proposals from previous cycles.

When can I expect a decision on my proposal?

For fellowships, summer research grants, and research sabbatical awards, we will typically notify you of a decision within eight weeks of the close of the quarterly review cycle. Please do not reach out to ask about the status of your proposal before eight weeks have elapsed.

Can I submit a fellowship proposal on behalf of someone else?

Doctoral and postdoctoral fellowship proposals may be submitted by an advisor or by administrative staff at the candidate's institution. Please note that all requirements must still be met, including a detailed research proposal and letter of recommendation.

My institution requires documentation of the funding commitment in order to process it. Can you provide this documentation?

Yes. Protocol Labs will create a gift letter as standard. It is also possible for us to write a more tailored letter if required. However, non-standard letters take additional time and may require input from multiple individuals and departments. If your institution has very particular requirements, please ensure that the your institution's point-of-contact for funding makes us aware of these as soon as possible.

Who can I contact if I have questions that aren't answered here?

A: Please reach out to [email protected].
