D. Submit Your Statement of Interest

 
Statements of Interest must be submitted online at this page. Paper copies will not be accepted. Statements of Interest are due February 21, 2007, by 4:00 p.m. EST. You will not be able to submit information after that time.
 
Reminder: Please have your Statement of Interest prepared using the supplied Statement of Interest worksheet (MS Word document, right click to save) and the Biographical Data worksheet (MS Word document, right click to save) before beginning this session. YOU CANNOT SAVE PARTIAL WORK, LEAVE THE SITE, AND RETURN TO COMPLETE IT LATER. You may edit your work during the submission process, but you will not be able to retrieve and modify the information after it is submitted. For this reason, we strongly encourage you to read all supporting information and follow suggestions.
       
Co-principal and associate investigators may submit Biographical Data text at a separate time from a project's Statement of Interest submission, but before the submission deadline. Your project's Principal Investigator must give you a project "SI Number" that is received when the Statement of Interest is submitted. If you are a co-principal or associate investigator, proceed directly to Submit a Biographical Data Sheet.
 

Reminder: Your Statement of Interest is limited in length to the equivalent of three 8 1/2 x 11 pages, single-spaced text, using standard, 12-point type size and 1-inch margins. The three-page document will print longer than three pages after entered into the website form. This is not a problem. You must also submit a one-page Biographical Data Sheet for each principal, co-principal, or associate investigator listed on the Statement of Interest. Your proposal will not be considered for review until your Statement of Interest and all the Biographical Data Sheet(s) are submitted no later than February 21, 2007, by 4:00 p.m. EST.

 
Follow these five steps to complete the Statement of Interest Submission Process.

 
1. Review all instructions for preparing a Statement of Interest. If you are unsure about how to prepare your Statement of Interest, return to the main page and review the preparation guidelines.

 
2. Download the Statement of Interest worksheet (MS Word document, right click to save) and Biographical Data worksheet (MS Word document, right click to save). Work offline to prepare these documents, then save copies to your personal computer.

 
3. Submit your Statement of Interest. Using the website, cut and paste your responses into the corresponding fields on the Statement of Interest submission page. BEFORE YOU PRESS THE 'SUBMIT' BUTTON, YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO EDIT your submission. After submitting your Statement of Interest, you will automatically be given a unique "SI Number." Write this number down and keep it with your Statement of Interest documents. Please don't rely on memory. You and your associate investigators will need the number to submit Biographical Data Sheets to accompany the Statement of Interest that you have submitted.

 
4.Submit a Biographical Data Sheet. Using the website, cut and paste the principal investigator's Biographical Data worksheet text into the corresponding fields on the Biographical Data Sheet submission page. You must have the unique "SI Number" generated upon the submission of your Statement of Interest. Your proposal will not be considered for review until both the Biographical Data Sheet(s) and your Statement of Interest are submitted. If you do submit your biographical data sheets at the same time as your Statement of Interest, here is the link for the biographical data form http://flseagrant.ifas.ufl.edu/CallForProposals/scripts/biodata.php. Remember, you cannot submit your bio data until you have submitted your Statement.

 
5. Repeat Step 4 for each co-principal and associate investigator.
       
Note: Please do not send hard copies of your Statement of Interest or Biographical Data Sheet to Florida Sea Grant. Thank you for your participation in the Submission Process.
