After registering, please login using your username and password. Click on “Create New Pre-Proposal”. You will complete the required fields with information relevant to your proposal.

You are not required to submit a full, polished proposal; a brief abstract or at a minimum one to two sentences that summarizes your topic points and information is acceptable.   The intent of the pre-proposal is to initiate engagement with the Cores of the CTRP.

Pre-proposals after the deadline are generally not permitted; however, you may contact Jocelyn Krebs at [email protected] or Kari Harris at [email protected]  to discuss your situation.

There is a section after the pre-proposal information is collected where the applicant can record “Interactions.” This section is where an applicant and CTRP project staff can document e-mails, phone calls, or in person meetings they’ve had with the Core leaders and/or members. It’s valuable to have correspondence and communication prior to submitting a pre-proposal, and it is required after submitting a pre-proposal. It’s the applicant’s responsibility to reach out to Core members to initiate contact.
