Pre-proposal and Application Process
Calls for Proposals
Southern SARE grants are competitive, which means Calls for Proposals are issued for each type of grant. The grant programs can be divided into two broad categories. The "big-grant" programs ( Research and Education, Large Systems, and Professional Development) require a two-step application process in keeping with the complicated nature of the project activities. Preproposals are evaluated for suitability to SARE's funding guidelines. The highest ranking preproposals are invited to return as a more detailed proposal. The smaller grants (Graduate Student, Sustainable Community, On-Farm Research or Producer) are awarded through a single proposal process.
