Application is through a competitive process.
All the members of the Board are delighted to be able to serve the research community through this program and are overwhelmed with the breadth and depth of research talent that has come forward in the first round of competition. The quality and the diversity of the research being undertaken makes the Board's task a challenging one. As in any competitive process, the Board must base its decisions on the information provided in the proposal submitted to the Board. A good proposal, therefore, has to capture the essence of the applicant's research excellence and the potential of the proposed research in a clear and compelling manner. The main purpose of this letter is to help applicants have a better understanding of what the Board is looking for.
