UFunds Applications are due in the UFunds system no later than Friday, January 14, 2022 at 5:00 pm ET. Access to the Demonstration Project application in UFunds ([https://ufunds.brown.edu](https://ufunds.brown.edu)) is by invitation only. UFunds access can be granted to a Brown University email address or to a Gmail email address. Faye Dvorchak ([faye_dvorchak@brown.edu](faye_dvorchak@brown.edu)) will reach out to the PI to establish appropriate access to the application in UFunds. A PI can submit an application in UFunds, or someone else can be granted permission to submit on behalf of a PI. However, UFunds is not a multi-user environment. If the PI would like more than one person to work on the application in UFunds, Faye can explain a possible workaround before the application is started. Only one application may be submitted per PI per funding cycle. 3. Attachments Required in Application All components below are required unless stated otherwise and must be uploaded in PDF format.
