The Northern Virginia Emergency Response System (NVERS) Steering Committee is accepting additional project concept proposals for FY20 funding consideration.
While proposals submitted in response to this special call are not required to receive formal endorsements from discipline committees as a prerequisite for consideration, the Steering Committee strongly recommends that project sponsors engage their discipline leadership and representatives on the Steering Committee to ensure their proposals are in the best interest of the sub-region. As outlined in the evaluation criteria contained within the special call announcement linked below, projects that build infectious disease capability and/or capacity across disciplines and jurisdictions may receive more favorable evaluations. Conversely, projects of limited benefit to a single discipline, or developed without attempts to engage discipline leadership or Steering Committee representatives, may not be favorably evaluated.
The Steering Committee approved a modified Project Concept Proposal Worksheet to provide project sponsors with a standardized approach when submitting proposals for consideration. Project sponsors may request technical assistance from NVERS staff in compiling their proposals by sending an email to fy20@nvers.org . Completed project concept forms are due to NVERS staff by close of business on Tuesday, June 30th, 2020.
