FAQs
How does a Coordination Proposal differ from and IPY Expression of Interest?
Coordination Proposals integrates the activities of several to many researchers around a shared scientific theme. An Expression of Interest (EoI) describes the intended activities of a single investigator or team focused on a specific activity. Several EoI’s with similar themes have been grouped under a single Coordination Proposal.
My national funding agency requires an IPY endorsement. Do I need to submit a coordination proposal?
If you have submitted an EoI, consider connecting to an existing endorsed Coordination Proposal, by emailing the proposal coordinator. If you have not submitted an EoI you are encouraged to do so, and consider linking with an appropriate Coordination Proposal.
My human health project fits the AHHI criteria, how do I obtain an IPY endorsement?
Contact Alan J. Parkinson, ajp1@cdc.gov, or Neil Murphy, nmurphy@scf.cc, with a request that includes a summary of the proposed project using the IPY EoI format. The EoI should be submitted to the IPY international program office using their online format.
