Can my institution apply only to be an IRMC Partner school, or only to receive capacity building funds?
No. An institution must submit a basic technical proposal to establish an institution-based scholarship program as required by the solicitation. Depending on the availability of funds, DoD may elect to make small program initiation awards to CAE/IAEs that have submitted outstanding proposals, and have managed the student recruitment and assessment process in an exceptional manner, but whose student candidates may not be selected by DoD for scholarship and Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) appointments. Because expectations are that the program will grow in future years, these program initiation awards are designed to enable institutions to complete planning for implementing a comprehensive scholarship program and be prepared to manage succeeding rounds of student recruitment. Similarly, DoD may also elect to make awards in support of the IRMC/NDU partnership described in ANNEX 1 of the solicitation, even if none of the CAE/IAEs’ student candidates is selected for participation i
