Research Grants

SFA Grant Policy

Grant Cycles

Requests for proposals (RFP) are issued on a cyclical basis. Adequate funds must be in place before preparations to initiate a research grant begin. Therefore, to maximize the full benefits of international advertisements and wide circulation of the funding opportunity, donors should understand that it takes several months after an RFP is issued until the grant is awarded and actual research can begin. The outline below depicts a typical cycle:

October - November
Initiate Request For Proposals (RFP)

January
Deadline for proposals.

February - March
SFA Medical Advisory Board ranks proposals.

April/May
Winners selected and awards announced.
