EAGER and RAPID The Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) program will be
replaced by the following two programs:Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) – will support quick-response research on natural or anthropogenic disasters
and similar unanticipated events Requests may be for up to $200K and of one year duration project descriptions are expected to be brief (two to five pages) and
include clear statements as to why the proposed research is of an urgent nature
EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) will support high-risk, exploratory and potentially transformative research. Requests may be for up to $300K and of up to two years duration. project description is expected to be brief (five to eight pages) and include
clear statements as to why this project is appropriate for EAGER funding More details in Grant Proposal Guide (09-1)
