Are there any active RFPs and are you currently accepting new funding applications?

Not at this time.

Is there a deadline to apply for a research grant?

We periodically issue RFPs which do have associated deadlines. We may also encourage inquiries and applications outside of RFPS, although they are unlikely to be funded if they fall outside our areas of focus.

Can anyone apply for a research grant?

Yes, but only applications from researchers we deem qualified and with the skills needed to complete the proposed research will be considered.

Is there a limit to the size of the grants?

Our grants generally range from several thousand to seventy thousand USD, but we will consider any grant small or large.

Do you grant operating funds for advocacy, or do you only fund research?

We only fund research.

Once I apply, how long will it be before I know if my proposal has been funded?

Responses to an active RFP will be given according to the time frame listed in the RFP. The FSRF committee meets once a month to discuss proposals outside of an active RFP, which will be responded to within six weeks.
