The ITN accepts only electronically submitted Concept Proposals. Proposals must be submitted by completing our Concept Proposal template forms (available at right and on the downloads page).

To submit a proposal:

1. Familiarize yourself with the Concept Proposal Guidelines to make sure your proposed research is within the ITN mandate.
   
2. Review additional information for applicants available on the Downloads page.
   
3. Download and complete the appropriate Concept Proposal Template Form off-line, referring to the guidelines for information on how to complete each field in the forms.
   
4. Click on "Submit a Proposal Now" to begin the submission process.

In order to submit a proposal through the on-line system, the principal investigator must complete a short web-based form that provides contact information and summary information on the focus of the proposal (ie. title, disease area, etc.). You will then be able to upload your proposal for consideration by the ITN.

More detailed instructions on the use of the ITN Concept Proposal submission system is available through the links on the right.
