APN’s 2011 Calls for Proposals

Further Assistance:
1) Frequently Asked Questions
The APN has developed a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) to support proponents in developing a proposal for submission to the APN. If the proponent cannot find an answer in the list to a specific question or questions he/she may have, the proponent is invited to submit a Letter of Intent under the voluntary Advisory Service of the APN’s 2011 Calls for Proposals.

3) APN Third Strategic Plan (2010-2015)

4) APN Institutional Policy on Data Sharing & Data Management
The APN Proposal Submission Guidelines requires that a proposal sets forth a plan for preservation, documentation and sharing of data, samples, physical collections, curriculum materials and other related research, capacity building, training and education materials. Each such plan should identify the responsibilities in this respect of the Project Leader and of each Project Scientist who is expected to be involved in the collection of Project data. Plans for handling what will become APN-Funded DATA (as defined in SECTION 1-A in the Data Policy document), as well as other materials mentioned in the present paragraph, will be considered during the review process.
