How to apply to Office of Science
General steps for a funder of this type. Always follow the instructions on the funder's own call page where they differ.
- Read the full call document, not only the summary. Note the eligible countries, the type of organization that may apply and the maximum award.
- Check registration steps early. Some government funders require an organization to be registered in a supplier or grantee system, such as SAM.gov and a UEI for US federal grants or a PIC number on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal. These can take weeks.
- Prepare the documents they usually ask for: legal registration, recent accounts or audit, a budget that follows their template, and letters from partners.
- Answer the scoring criteria directly, using the same headings and the same wording as the call.
- Submit well before the deadline. Late or incomplete applications are normally rejected without review.
Before you start: documents to have ready
- Proof that your organization is legally registered, and the registration number.
- Your most recent annual accounts or audit, or a bank statement if you are new.
- A one-page organizational profile with mission, location and track record.
- A project summary with the problem, the activities, the people who benefit and the expected results.
- A budget in the currency the funder asks for, with each cost line explained.
Use the grant tools to check your organization's fit, write the proposal and track the deadline.
