Funding schedule (dates and deadlines)

Letters of Intent and application deadlines for the 2025-26 funding cycle.

Letter of Intent and Application Deadlines

Applications and Letters of Intent (LOI) for all CBCRP awards must be submitted online through SmartSimple. Registration is required to access SmartSimple. Registration instructions are available in the "How to Apply" section of the Application and Grant Administration page.

CBCRP investigator-initiated awards are offered on an annual basis, although the Community Research Collaboration Full Awards and Community Research Collaboration Planning Awards are offered on alternate years. Program and Policy initiatives awards are one-time funding opportunities. The submission deadlines are listed in the table below.

The IDEA, Fellowship (Predoctoral and Postdoctoral), and Community-Led Conference Awards require an LOI and a subsequent invitation from the CBCRP to submit a full application. LOI forms and application materials are available in SmartSimple. We provide templates to work on IDEA LOIs and Community-Led Conference Award LOIs off-line, but the information must be entered into SmartSimple fields to complete the submission.
