Explore preparatory grants for research proposals toolkit

This toolkit contains the materials you need to respond to Explore's Call for Concept Notes for Preparatory Research Grants. There is a digital application form through which you can submit your concept note. There is a PDF version of the application form that you can use as a reference when preparing your concept note. Do not use the PDF reference document to apply. There is an Excel template for estimating your budget, which you will submit as a PDF when you fill out the application form. There is a Call for Concept Notes that provides important background information. You will also find the Explore guidelines for membership in the community of practice and Preparatory Research Mechanism. For more information, visit Explore. For assistance with your application, contact the Explore Secretariat at explore.secretariat@recoftc.org.
