Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) Solicitation 17-576: MEDIUM Projects Submission Window Dates

Date: Oct 03, 2017 2:00 am – Oct 10, 2017 7:00 pm

Project Submission Window Dates: October 03, 2017 - October 10, 2017 (due by 5 p.m. submitter's local time)

MEDIUM Projects: Medium projects, with total budgets ranging from $500,001 to $1,200,000 for durations of up to four years, are well suited to one or more investigators (PI, co-PI and/or other Senior Personnel) and several students and/or postdocs.

  • Medium project descriptions must be comprehensive and well-integrated, and should make a convincing case that the collaborative contributions of the project team will be greater than the sum of each of their individual contributions. Rationale must be provided to explain why a budget of this size is required to carry out the proposed work.
  • Since the success of collaborative research efforts is known to depend on thoughtful coordination mechanisms that regularly bring together the various participants of the project, a separate Collaboration Plan is required for all Medium proposals with more than one investigator. Up to 2 pages are allowed for Collaboration Plans and they must be submitted as a document under Supplementary Documentation. The length of and level of detail provided in the Collaboration Plan should be commensurate with the complexity of the proposed project. Collaboration plans and proposed budgets should demonstrate that key personnel, and especially lead PIs, have allocated adequate time for both their individual technical contributions and the leadership of collaborative activities necessary to realize the synergistic effects of larger-scale research. If a Medium proposal with more than one investigator does not include a Collaboration Plan, that proposal will be returned without review. Please see Proposal Preparation InstructionsSection V.A for additional submission guidelines.
  • Medium projects may only be submitted with these designations: CORE and TTP.
