How to Submit a Research Idea
Research ideas are submitted in the form of a Problem Statement. Problem Statements are reviewed by Research staff, Oversight Teams, and the Research and Implementation Council. Those problem statements that are selected for funding will be developed into research projects including, typically, contracting with a university or private researcher as principal investigator.
