Submit completed proposals to: research.seagrant@triton.uog.edu
Full proposals due: Friday, May 12, 2023 by 5:00 p.m. (CHST, Local Guam time) Late and/or incomplete applications will not be considered.
We welcome inquiries from potential applicants! Below, please see the frequently asked questions, and our replies, that can apply to a cross-section of applicants.
“Approach” is a basic overview of the project’s execution, while “Methodology” is most closely aligned with those that one would find in a scientific paper (protocols, data analysis). For methodology, each step or action that one plans to take should be written in the proposal.
Either is fine, just be consistent.
In reading research RFPs, potential applicants may find that their projects do not appear to fit “perfectly” (at first glance) under the RFP’s purview. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the proposer to write a proposal in such a way that clarifies to reviewers why/how the project meets RFP objectives. People who regularly write applications develop that skill over time; proposals are not just great plans but also compelling and convincing writing! Additionally, sometimes proposals that do not get funded inform the RFP development in subsequent years, as they may demonstrate a need that the RFP developers did or could not originally envision.
