The RESPOND Scientific Steering Committee encourages the submission of concepts for new research projects. 

Once submitted the research concept's feasibility within RESPOND will be evaluated by the Scientific Steering Committee for the following:

Potential conflict with research agenda of participating Cohorts
Budget implications
Scientific relevance
Design and feasibility
Suggested statistical analyses and power
Overlap with already approved projects

A project proposal should always be accompanied by a Statistican Analysis Plan (SAP)

Upon completion of the evaluation, feedback will be provided to the proposer(s). In some circumstances, a revision of the proposal may be requested. 

All persons involved in the process of evaluating the research concepts are bound by confidentiality.
