All other ARL Announcements (BAA’s) must be read thoroughly to ensure proposal submission requirements are met.

Format in which proposals can be submitted

Proposals must be submitted via Grants.Gov either by the Kuali Coeus Proposal System to System interface with Grants.Gov or directly into Grants.Gov. Proposals may also be submitted via email.

For electronic submissions in Grants.Gov, all appropriate fields are to be filled out in accordance with BAA Instructions.
