Research Announcements

Proposers, who are registered on the WRC Proposal Submission (FMS) system, must use the same user-id and password that they used in the past. First time users will have to register as new users of the FMS system.  Please do not confuse the WRC community membership login with the proposal submission (FMS) login as they link to totally different servers.  We also recommend that first time users attend a WRC101 workshop to familiarize themselves with the WRC proposal submission system as well as proposal and contract management requirements. These workshops or information sessions will be advertised on the WRC website.

All proposals, both solicited and non-solicited, have to be submitted on-line via the web based submission system. The Guidelines for Proposal Preparation and Submission document can be downloaded from the web. This document contains valuable information that will assist in the preparation of proposals and also provides clear pointers regarding the submission process. Proposers are strongly advised to download a copy and familiarize themselves with the requirements for proposal preparation and submission (the web-based submission screens do not include the explanatory details contained in the Guidelines document).

A Help Desk will be available for both technical and proposal-content queries and problems.  This support will be available via email or telephone. Details will be provided when the system goes live.

Proposers are strongly encouraged to complete their submissions as early as possible to avoid last minute bottlenecks and possible problems due to system overload.

The proposed schedule of dates for both the Solicited and Non-solicited proposal funding streams is given below. Any changes will be announced on the WRC's website.
