Proposal

The Proposal page of the Proposal Development Document serves the purpose of recording the basics of a proposal.  It is designed to require a minimum amount of general information to constitute a “proposal-in-progress” worthy of saving to complete and submit at a later time.  This information includes describing the nature of the proposal; specifying the type of proposal; identifying the potential sponsor and the target start and end dates involved; and entering the relevant sponsor, program and organization contact information.  It is the first page displayed by default after clicking the Proposal Development option on the Pre-Award menu.  Populating, at a minimum, the required fields on this page allows you to save the document as a working draft and proceed to the other pages.
