This page provides instructions and templates for investigators applying for SW CACTI Pilot Funding. Pilot proposals should focus on concise communication of the relevant information. This will help to demonstrate effective proposal writing and communication skills, and the likelihood of success in developing the full, competitive proposals to follow these pilots.

Budget Guidelines
Utilization of SW CACTI Core services is strongly encouraged and will be a review consideration. It is important that you schedule a meeting with the SW CACTI Research Navigator at UNM, Donna Sedillo, or UA, Maria Gordon, after being invited for a full application. This consultation step is required for planning purposes and to ensure effective use of SW CACTI Core services utilization for your research proposal.
Responsible budgeting is critical for the 12-month project, and it is common to overestimate what you can accomplish in that limited time frame. Your proposed budget will be reviewed and potentially revised based on Peer Review and Core management feedback. If successfully funded, reallocation of the budget is strongly discouraged. However, consideration will be made for the reallocation of funds within SW CACTI Cores if justified. Prior approval is necessary. SW CACTI resources included in the budget will be covered using a non-refundable voucher program. These funds may not be reallocated to other expenses after the grant has been awarded. Rationale for not using SW CACTI Core services needs to be specifically justified.
