Grant Application Guidelines

Grant proposals should be submitted by email, as a single (1) pdf file.

Grant proposals should contain the following elements:

A. Cover Sheet (1 page)

B. Proposal (not to exceed 5 pages)

C. Budget (1 page)

D. Curriculum vita(e) (not to exceed 1 page per PI)

A. COVER SHEET

All grant proposals must be accompanied by a completed Proposal Cover Sheet Form. See

separate form.

B. PROPOSAL

Formatting

The proposal should be

・ Double spaced

・ up to 5 pages long

・ 12 pt. font

・ 1” margins.

Content

The content of the grant proposal should be divided into sections that answer the following

questions.

1. What is the question or challenge and why is it important? The proposal should start with

a brief discussion of the questions or challenges that the proposer expects to address, with

regard to both science and diplomacy. It should go on to discuss why the question matters (e.g.

fill gaps in the literature/knowledge/data, nations are in conflict etc.) and how they are related to

the goals of the funder.

2. What is the state of research/effort on this question? The proposal should contain a

summary of the existing literature or activity on the questions/challenges being addressed. This

summary should include citations to the most important papers in the literature or projects.

3. Why is the proposer qualified to address the question/challenge for which funds are

sought? The proposer’s education, teaching, previous research accomplishments, experience

in international relations, etc., related to the proposed research should be discussed briefly.

4. What is the method or approach? The proposal should contain a discussion

of the theoretical framework, data sources, sampling methods, and empirical analyses or other

activities and methods (theory or model of social change) that bear on the project.

5. What will be the outputs from the research project? The proposal should include a

discussion of creation of data sets, anticipated papers, conferences, briefings, training of

students and postdocs, new relationships, etc., that the research or project is expected to yield.

6. What is the justification for the amount of money requested? The proposer should

justify the budget request and why it is consistent with the associated output that

the funds will support.

7. What other sources of research or project support does the proposer have in hand or

applied for to support the research or other effort? If funds are being provided or requested

from other sources, the proposal should list those sources, amounts and the current status of

funding from each. This narrative information can be integrated into the previous question, with

detail provided in the budget.

C. BUDGET

Formatting

・ The budget should be presented in tabular form in the sample budget format. As the fund

requests would likely be small, we discourage subcontracts or pass-throughs.

・ Matching financial contributions (either secured or anticipated) must be identified and an

overall financial plan for the whole effort should be included if the project involves more

than the funds immediately sought.

D. CURRICULUM VITA(E)

・ Proposers should provide CVs or bios of key project staff that will implement and

supervise activities.

・ CVs should include education, employment history, a list of the proposer’s most

important previous publications, and honors. Full CVs are not required. No CV should exceed

one page.

E. Letters of support

A list of key letters of support (not actual letters, but the organizations or individuals who would

submit them) that would make success in the project more plausible or likely should be

attached.
