Projects can be sponsored to a maximum of US $12,000.

Sponsored projects can begin between July 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016. Projects must be completed within one year of their start date.

The FBF 2015 Call for Projects is open to applicants from UC Berkeley and UC Davis. We regret not being able to accept applications from Santa Cruz since 2010, or from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as of 2014.

Applicants are responsible for correctly formatting their submissions. All the documents should be merged.

Each of the two application files should include a cover sheet, available in .DOCX and .PDF formats. Note that the .docx format may require you to “unprotect” the document, depending on your system.

After creating your application files according to the guidelines, proceed to the Online Application Site. Here, you will be able to upload your files, as well as enter the information gathered on your cover sheet. Note that you cannot save your application to work on it later, so make sure you have gathered all of the required materials as outlined in the guidelines before filling out the online application. You will immediately receive an e-mailed confirmation of your application, and if any details need to be changed (e.g. minor typos), you can e-mail the changes to FBF@BERKELEY.EDU by the application deadline.

The Fund  will provide confirmation of receipt and eligibility by email by February 10, 2016. Notification of awards will be made in mid-June of 2016.
