Open Calls for Proposals: What Works

We are gathering information on recent open calls for proposals, from the people who ran them and the organisations that applied, with the aim of identifying best practice and lessons that can be shared more widely. Calls do not need to be in education, and any kind of funder is useful, whether a foundation, a company or a government programme.

We will share the anonymised findings and lessons so that everyone can benefit. Every question is optional, so answer as much as you can. Leaving your email lets us follow up on your answers. If you know about more than one call, please fill in the form once for each.

Thank you

Your answers have been received. If you know about another call, you can fill in the form again.
