If this call for pre-proposals fits your area of interest, talk with your advisors about helping to get something submitted. The pre-proposal process is nice because it optimizes your time – first you get to see if they like your idea before spending lots of hours writing a full proposal.

The work of the Council is guided by a long range strategic plan with the goal to achieve greater sustainability, good environmental stewardship, higher process efficiency and increased knowledge. Council recommended projects are then reviewed by EREF's Board of Director's Projects Committee for a final review and funding allocation.
