The proposal and award processes, from identifying funding to closing a completed award, can seem complex and challenging. Understanding any process can be made easier by having the opportunity to view it in its entirety from a global perspective. The Proposal Life Cycle and the Award Life Cycle were created for this purpose.
In addition to providing the reader with an overview of these processes, the Proposal Life Cycle and Award Life Cycle provide links to electronic resources and to contact information for key technical support personnel.
