What is the process for getting a SANDEE grant?
SANDEE generally solicits research proposals two times each year. At the first stage a pre-proposal is sought within a specified deadline mentioned in the announcement. Once you meet the deadline, pre-proposals are recorded and acknowledged by email. Under some circumstances, pre-proposals are solicited throughout the year and this information is provided on the SANDEE website www,sandeeonline.com. After screening of the pre-proposals, a select few full proposals are invited. Proposals are first reviewed by the SANDEE’s Secretariat and the best proposals are sent out for external review. Each proposal that is sent out for review is generally reviewed by 2-3 senior researchers of international repute. Based on reviewer comments, research applicants receive a letter that will either ask them to re-submit for the next round of grants, reject their application, or ask them revise their proposal and re-submit within a month’s time so that they can defend their proposal at a SANDEE Research
