Can I discuss my proposal with somebody at OTF before submitting my application?
Applicants are encouraged to contact a Program Manager or a Grants Associate in their area to discuss their proposal at least one month before applying. This is especially important for first-time applicants, who usually benefit greatly from pre-application counselling. Discussions can take place either in person, by telephone or teleconference, or by email.
Can I submit a draft application for a Program Manager or Grants Associate to review and give feedback on before submitting the final application?
Because of the volume of applications that we receive, and to be fair to all applicants, we will not review drafts. However, you can contact a local Program Manager or Grants Associate with specific questions at any time.
