Broad Area Announcements (BAAs) or Requests for Proposals (RFPs) are posted on the OSRI web site and advertised in other appropriate venues, generally for a minimum of three months.

Proposal grant applications are accepted from individuals, organizations and businesses nationally and internationally.

Please follow instructions for small, medium, or large grant application forms, dependent on the total dollar amount being requested.
Small = under $25,000
Medium = $25,000-99,999
Large = $100,000 or over.

Fellowship and internship application forms detail information required.

All proposals are peer reviewed. Small grant awards (under $25,000) are determined by the OSRI Research Program Manager. Medium size grant awards are determined by the OSRI Science Director in coordination with the Scientific and Technical Committee. All awards over $100,000 also require approval by the OSRI Advisory Board. The proposal review and award process is detailed in the Grant Policy Manual.
