Science and Global Health R&D Fund Where to submit your proposal Most of the time, we proactively reach out to potential grantees to shape funding proposals together, but we also read unsolicited proposals. If you want to submit an idea to us, you can send an email to science@coefficientgiving.
org with a short description of an existing proposal you have submitted to another funder, or a new 1-2 page proposal with a rough budget outline and an estimated timeline. We receive a large volume of inquiries, so we will only be able to respond to those that may be a good fit for our programmatic goals. Historically, we ended up funding about 1-2% of the unsolicited proposals we received.
For more information on what happens next in our internal decision-making process, see here . If your project isn’t a good fit for these programs but aligns with one of our funds, you can contact us to ask about funding. However, we rarely fund unsolicited proposals, and we may not respond to all inquiries.
