Canadian Police Research Centre (CPRC) Call for Proposals, Call 001 - Applicant Guidebook

For Fiscal Year 2009-2010

Abstract

This applicant guidebook is for potential applicants who wish to submit project proposals or applications to the Canadian Police Research Centre (CPRC) to access funds. The guidebook provides information on the process by which proposals are prepared, evaluated and selected. This Call for Proposals Applicant Guidebook has been updated to reflect the evolution in CPRC investment priorities and to target gaps.

The procurement process consists of two stages. This is not a bid solicitation and no contract will be awarded as a direct result of the Call for Proposals, Stage One. The information provided in Stage One is not a binding offer but rather a basis for establishing a list of pre-qualified applicants.

Applicants must use only the current Applicant Guidebook.
