Year 2 of the Grand Challenge Initiative (GCI) is now open and the Office of Research, Innovation, and Economic Impact (ORIEI) will be hosting optional virtual office hours to answer questions and discuss the Request for Proposals.
If you are considering submitting a proposal and would like to talk through your ideas, eligibility, project scope, budgeting, timelines, or any other aspect of the application process, we encourage you to attend one of these informal sessions. Whether you have a specific question or are simply exploring whether GCI is a good fit for your work, ORIEI is happy to help.
