What should be included in the five-page proposal?
The proposal describing the project (which may not exceed five pages), should include: a) Scope of the overall project and the anticipated contribution of the requested supplement; and b) A discussion of how the supplement will accelerate the tempo of scientific research and/or allow for job creation and retention. In order to ensure that all expenditures in support of an administrative supplement advance the objectives of the Recovery Act, all applications must address Recovery Act justifications, including how the supplement is expected to stimulate the economy by: 1) Enabling hiring of additional staff; 2) Enabling increased hours of current part-time staff; 3) Procuring additional needed equipment (costing under $100,000); and/or 4) Recruiting for additional needed skills.
