All concept notes must be submitted via the Institute's online grants management system. (Please consult the specific grant opportunity for instructions on how to register on this system). All concept notes must be submitted by the grant opportunity deadline. USIP staff will review the concept notes and notify applicants as to whether their project idea will be moving ahead in the process. Applicants whose concept notes are selected will be invited to submit a detailed full application.

USIP's Board of Directors makes the final decision on funding for grants.
