As of 2007, proposals requesting funding from the CDMRP have been submitted through the Federal Government's single entry portal, Grants.gov, in compliance with Public Law 106-107. Individual program announcements and required forms can be found on the Grants.gov website. Pre-applications are required and must be submitted through the CDMRP eReceipt website, prior to proposal submission to Grants.gov.
In order to clarify the CDMRP Program Announcements and proposal submission process, CDMRP has divided these documents into the following:
1) Program Announcement - contains all program information, scientific proposal components, and peer review criteria.
2) Application Instructions - contains instructions and detailed information on all pre-application and proposal requirements, including directions for Grants.gov submissions. This document also contains Regulatory Requirements and Award Administration information.
Each Application Instruction document will only apply to the specific award mechanism listed; however this document is intended to be utilized in conjunction with the PA.
