● Pre-proposals must be submitted using a google form here – note you will upload your completed application in this form. It is strongly preferred that you submit the proposal as a PDF. You can easily convert your word document to pdf format at http://convert.neevia.com.
● Please use a descriptive file name that is specific to your project and if possible include the year and the word preproposal. For example “Vermont Coyote Searchers Preproposal 2010.pdf”. Remember, you might only have one file called MGAEF preposal.pdf file, but we receive dozens of similarly named files.
● A letter of endorsement that convinces us that the curriculum (or equivalent) will be implemented. Generally this is from the science supervisor and principal of the school involved. If other partners are involved, letters from these sources are requested. If you work with many schools, letters from them all are not required.
● Resumés of key individuals involved. This is your chance to convince us that you can do what you propose to do.
