Some clarification questions (which I hope will help people preparing these applications).
For standard grants ($100k-$1m), you say next steps “may include follow-up questions or a direct decision.” Roughly how much of the decision do you expect to depend on the EoI text itself? I’d find find it useful to know how much of the case for credibility and theory of change (etc.) needs to fit in 2,000 characters, versus how much can be introduced at a later stage (if one gets there).
Relatedly, is there a mechanism to link to supporting material (a longer scope note a more detailed budget, prior work, etc.), or would you rather it all fits in the 2k character limit?
Your AI governance RFP said the EoI stage focuses mainly on the first three assessment criteria (ToC, track record, strategic judgment), with the rest covered at full review. Is there an analogous shortlist here (going beyond the ITN framework mentioned)?
