Impacts of COVID‑19 on the New Frontiers in Research Fund

Posted by Jaq-Lin Larder on March 30, 2020 in Research Funding

Due to COVID-19, many deadlines are being revised.

The 2019 Exploration competition will be finalized as planned. Applicants will receive Notices of Decision by March 31, 2020, and funds will be disbursed shortly after. The posting of the evaluation results for applicants (including ratings by criteria and messages to applicants, where applicable) may be delayed.

While CRCC finalizes the review of the competition timeline, the Letter of Intent (LOI) deadline for the 2020 Transformation competition has been extended to July 15, 2020, at 8 p.m. (eastern). This is the deadline for submission to the agency by the research administrators; institutions may have earlier internal deadlines. Dates for future milestones will also be changed. Check the Transformation competition page regularly for updates.

There are no changes to the 2020 Horizon Global Platform competition.
