Pre-Proposal Guidelines

Faculty may develop an optional pre-proposal if feedback is desired concerning a new idea, project or program before writing a full proposal.  Pre-proposals should be one to three pages in length.  Include a brief description of the proposed project/program, expected outcomes for learners and an estimated budget.  Indicate the expected length of the project/program.  Relate the pre-proposal outcomes to one or more of the program priorities identified in the 21st Century Strategic Direction.

Pre-Proposals may be submitted at any time.  A system program director will provide feedback regarding viability and potential for funding.  Project directors of successful pre-proposals should fully development program ideas and submit the final proposal for review by May 1.

Pre-proposals should be submitted to the "ODF Proposals" mailbox (ODFproposals@umsystem.edu) via your email application and be accompanied by the proposal cover page form.
