Your contact information, co-PI’s information (if applicable), your key personnel including institution affiliations for all of the above, what you are proposing, and what areas of expertise you think your application most covers.

For most award mechanisms, yes, you may. For certain award mechanisms, however, Letters of Intent are required. In that case, failure to submit a Letter of Intent may render your proposal noncompliant. Letters of Intent are important to help us recruit qualified reviewers for peer review of your proposal.

Following the evaluation process, applicants will receive written notification that either invites or discourages the submission of a full application.

The National Letter of Intent (NLI) is a legal contract between a prospective student-athlete and an institution in which the institution agrees to provide financial aid to the prospect (if eligible for financial aid by NCAA rules) for one year in exchange for the prospect's agreement to attend the institution for one year.
