Program Guidelines and How to Apply

The NETRF RFA model employs a 2-step process. The first step is the submission of a competitive LOI. One LOI per applicant, per program, may be submitted. The purpose of the LOI is to identify projects with the greatest scientific potential without requiring applicants to first submit a full application. A limited number of applicants whose LOIs are deemed most meritorious will be invited to submit a full proposal. LOIs and full proposals must be submitted through Proposal Central.

    1. Applicants interested in a 2026 award must submit a competitive letter of intent (LOI) by 5:00 PM ET on Monday, March 16, 2026.
    2. By early May 2026, a limited number of LOI Applicants will be invited to submit full proposals. Full proposals are due Monday, June 22, 2026, by 5:00 PM ET.
